ABOUT EDWARD BRYANT
Ed Bryant is known to connoiusseurs of horror fiction for his high quality (though not prolific) output.
His writing career began in 1968 with his attendance at the Clarion Workshop. By 1973, he had gained acclaim for stories with a conversational style that mask rather dark realities. At times these realities are downright apocalyptic, although in other cases the message is joyous and hopeful.
His short horror story "Dark Angel", which appeared in Kirby McCauley's DARK FORCES featured modern-day witch Angela Black, whose name reflects her moral ambiguity. She reappears as the narrator of Bryant's short novel Fetish.
He won two Nebula Awards for his short stories, Stone (1978) and giANTS (1979). He is mostly known as a writer of short fiction, however he also writes poetry, nonfiction, reviews, criticism, and edits an e-zine.
Condition: DARKER PASSIONS has a couple of light interior tape marks on the inside covers from what appears to have been a removed protective plastic jacket. OTHERWISE FINE.
AQUA SANCTA IS FINE.
