Michael Wehunt grew up in North Georgia, close enough to the Appalachians to feel them but not quite easily see them. There were woods, and woodsmoke, and warmth. He did not make it far when he left, falling sixty miles south to the lost city of Atlanta, where he lives today, with fewer woods but still many trees. He writes. He reads. Robert Aickman fidgets next to Flannery O’Connor on his favorite bookshelf. His short fiction has appeared in venues such as Cemetery Dance, The Dark, Shadows & Tall Trees, The Mammoth Book of Cthulhu, The Year's Best Dark Fantasy & Horror, and Year's Best Weird Fiction. His debut collection, Greener Pastures, was nominated for both the Shirley Jackson Award and the Crawford Award. It is available now from Apex Book Company.
