Compton, Johnny (Johnny Compton)
Johnny Compton, the man who turned a kindergarten scare into a lifelong affair with the macabre. While most of us were still trying to figure out how to tie our shoelaces, young Johnny was already getting acquainted with ghostly tales, thanks to a rather adventurous kindergarten teacher. I mean, who needs "The Wheels on the Bus" when you can have "The Golden Arm" echoing in your tiny ears? It's no wonder he grew up to pen tales that make our spines tingle and our sleep elusive.
Hailing from San Antonio, a place known for its rich history and, let's be honest, potential ghost stories, Johnny has been weaving his dark tales into various publications. From the eerie realms of Pseudopod to the mysterious corridors of Strange Horizons, his stories have found homes in the hearts of horror aficionados.
And now, with "The Spite House" under the prestigious banner of Tor Nightfire, it's clear that Johnny is not just playing in the big leagues; he's setting the stadium on fire. But wait, there's more! When he's not busy crafting nightmares on paper, he's discussing them on his podcast, "Healthy Fears." Because, you know, what's a little terror without some introspection? Cheers to Johnny Compton, the man who reminds us that every fear has a story, and every story is worth a listen. Or a scream. Whichever comes first.
