About me

Cory Clark lives in Lincoln, Nebraska. He is an author who works part time in a coffee shop, so he's basically just a big walking cliche. He enjoys books from all sorts of authors, but credits Neil Gaiman, Philip K. Dick, and the films of David Lynch as his biggest style influences.

Cory lived for four years in Constanta, Romania, and speaks conversational Romanian. He has been to 25 countries and counting, a fact he is obnoxiously proud of.

When Cory is not writing, he loves to watch movies, play basketball, and stare wistfully out of the window and wish that Nebraska had some mountains for god's sake.

    • Genre: horror, thriller

    • Won the James Herbert Award for Horror Writing

  • I don’t usually go for gross-out horror, but this one is infused with enough sense of unavoidable dread that I have found it compelling. My problem is that I read The Ruins by Scott Smith first and that book does basically the same thing with plants instead of worms. And Smith had much tighter control of the language and less reliance on sheer gross-outs for suspense so I consider that a superior version of the story. But this one has been fun enough in a pulpy sort of way.
