Gregory Lamberson

"Gregory Lamberson is the sort of force that dark fantasy and horror are lucky to have." - FANGORIA magazine "Why in the name of all that's unholy has Hollyweird not got their sights on this series? I'm just going to put it out there -- Greg Lamberson is the most cinematic author writing today and The Jake Helman Files are nothing short of the most awesome movies that have not been filmed yet." -Author Bob Freeman, the Occult Detective Three-time IPPY Gold Medal winner and three-time Bram Stoker Award finalist Gregory Lamberson is an author and filmmaker who loves to thrill people. Rave reviews of his work have appeared in Fangoria, Rue Morgue, Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and Booklist. All of his books are available in print and as e-books, and some are also available as audio books. Lamberson has recently completed the feature film adaptation of his award-winning novel JOHNNY GRUESOME, starring Anthony De La Torre (Young Jack Sparrow in PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES_ and Michael DeLorenzo (star of TV's NEW YORK UNDERCOVER and RESURRECTION BOULEVARD), and featuring a new theme song, "Dyin' Tonight" performed by Robby Takac of the Goo Goo Dolls.

Lamberson's second novel, JOHNNY GRUESOME, won the IPPY Gold Medal for Horror and Dark Scribe Magazine's "Best Small Press Chill" Award, and was nominated for a Bram Stoker Award by the Horror Writers Association. The novel spawned a rock CD, GRUESOME, an award-winning online comic book, and a collectible mask. Lamberson's feature film adaptation of the novel will be released sometime in 2017. Lamberson's first novella, CARNAGE ROAD, was published by Creeping Hemlock Press in May 2012. Library Journal gave it a starred review: "Lamberson's (Personal Demons) latest is both bleak and beautiful, a brain-splattering zombie thriller that is at its core a paean to the power of friendship, even in a dead world. This novella may be brief, but it has real bite, along with taut zombie action, scathing social commentary, and a suitably nihilistic ending. Zombie fans are in for one easy ride through the apocalypse. [Print Is Dead is Creeping Hemlock's zombie-themed imprint.--Ed.]" Lamberson's second novella, SCAREMONGER, is available as Kindle Exclusive E-book. Lambersonb's twelfth novel BLACK CREEK, an eco-horror novel centering around the Love Canal environmental disaster in Niagara Falls, recently won his third IPPY Gold Medal for Horror.
