Entry updated 12 September 2022. Tagged: Author.
(? - ) US author whose complex Science Fantasy High House sequence, comprising The High House (1998) and The False House (1999), centres on the eponymous house (and its imitation) which may be sentient, certainly accesses a number of Dimensions, and serves as the focus of a battle between the forces of Order and Chaos. The High House won a Compton Crook/Stephen Tall Memorial Award for best first novel. The Night Land: A Story Retold (2011), "with" William Hope Hodgson, is a retelling for contemporary readers – that is, in less archaic prose – of Hodgson's The Night Land: A Love Story (1912; cut 1921).
