'Simmons draws from a well with waters dark and deep, that taste of guilt, despair and fear, to cultivate his surprising and inventive tales of horror.' — ADAM NEVILL (British Fantasy Award Winning author of THE RITUAL and NO ONE GETS OUT ALIVE). William Simmons is an acclaimed author, critic, anthologist, and journalist specializing in supernatural horror fiction. He is an Active Member of the HWA. Eight of his stories received ‘Honorable Mentions’ in The Year’s Best Fantasy & Horror. His collection WE FEED THE DARK received accolades from such horror legends as ADAM NEVILL, ERIC J. GUINGARD, and FORREST AGUIRRE. “Avoiding horror’s traditional icons and their premeasured fright potential ... (Simmons is) a writer whose approach is both original and refreshingly unconventional.”

  • PUBLISHER'S WEEKLY His collection BY REASON OF DARKNESS received rave reviews from Cemetery Dance, All Hallows, and Publisher's Weekly, who called him Simmons “…evokes both Ray Bradbury and Joyce Carol Oates.” – PETER BELL, All Hallows His first collection BECOMING OCTOBER sold out quickly upon release, and he collaborated on the Halloween collection DARK HARVEST with author Paul Melznick.

His poetry has appeared in Chizine, Gothic.net, Lullaby Hearse, Dead Cat Bouncing, etc. GRAHAM MASTERTON, author of The Minatou, said Simmons “has the gift of making an ordinary day seem scary.” NANCY KILPATRICK, author of The Goth Bible, said “Simmons has a knack for constructing dark, creepy, introverted tales, full of obscure terrors that reflect nearly mythical realms.” And T.M. WRIGHT, author of Strange Seed, compared Simmons’ horror fiction to “like being taken back forty years and discovering Poe for the first time, and M.R. James, and Shirley Jackson.” Simmons has contributed reviews, essays, and scholarship to Rue Morgue, Publisher’s Weekly, Wormwood, Hellnotes, Gauntlet, Cemetery Dance, and others.
