BiographyHistory

'Michael Rowe was born in Ottawa in 1962 and has lived in Beirut, Havana, Geneva, and Paris. An award-winning journalist, and literary nonfiction writer, he is the author of Writing Below the Belt, a critically-acclaimed study of censorship, erotica and popular culture, as well as the essay collections Looking for Brothers and Other Men's Sons. His essays, articles, and reviews have appeared in the Globe and Mail, National Post, The Advocate, and The Huffington Post, as well as CFQ, The Scream Factory, and All-Hallows, among many others.

For 17 years Rowe was the first-tier Canadian correspondent for Fangoria. He has won the Lambda Literary Award, the Randy Shilts Award, and the Spectrum Award, and has been a finalist for the National Magazine Award, the Associated Church Press Award, and the International Horror Guild Award.

As the creator and editor of the critically acclaimed horror anthologies Queer Fear and Queer Fear 2, he was hailed by Clive Barker in 2002 as having 'changed forever the shape of horror fiction.' He is married and lives in Toronto. Enter, Night is his first novel (www.michaelrowe.com).

y separately published work icon Queer Fear: Gay Horror Fiction, Volume 2 Vancouver : Arsenal Pulp Press , 2002 Z1809609 2002 anthology short story horror

Queer Fear II builds on the successes of its predecessor, Queer Fear, the groundbreaking gay-themed horror anthology that Gothic.net called "the best horror anthology of [the year]," and which won the Queer Horror Award, and was a finalist for a Spectrum Award and two Lambda Literary Awards.

The dark pleasures and anxieties of the Queer Fear books have their roots in the nightmarish, viral machinations of AIDS and homophobia, as well as the ghoulish, old-fashioned thrills of confronting things that go bump in the night.
