William R.D. Wood traces his love of science fiction and horror back to a childhood filled with classic Universal Studios monsters, Space: 1999 reruns, a worn-out copy of Dune, and Heavy Metal magazine. A good writing day often finds him at any of several favorite overlooks on the Blue Ridge Parkway deeply immersed in a new work of cosmic horror. Will lives with his wife, children and 3-1/4 ghosts in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley in an old farmhouse turned backwards to the road.
