William SchoellWilliam Schoell is an American author, born November 30, 1951 in Manhattan and educated in Vermont. He earned a B.A Castleton State College in 1973 and has written several horror and science fiction novels, such as Late at Night (1986) and Saurian (1988). He was the author of "Hidden Horrors," a column in the now defunct horror magazine The Scream Factory, as well as a contributor of articles and reviews to periodicals including Writer, Writer's Digest, Paris Notes, Off Duty, and BBC Music. More recently, he has published books that deal with film, and biographies, some of which were written together with Hollywood biographer Lawrence J. Quirk. His play Joe and Janice premiered at the American Theater of Actors in 2000. He is also the editor and publisher of High and Low, an online entertainment newsletter. At one time he served as associate editor of Quirk's Reviews, and editor of the Macabre Newsletter. He is widely renowned as a film historian and biographer of such fantasy and sci-fi greats as Steven Spielberg, Jules Verne, and H.P. Lovecraft, in addition to film stars and personalities of yesterday and today. William Schoell once noted: "I write because it is a joy to do so, and I have never been interested in doing anything else. At the beginning of my career I wrote horror and suspense novels because I loved the genre and it was then enjoying unprecedented popularity. (It is unfortunate that publishers often gave my novels such stupid and often inappropriate titles as Spawn of Hell and Bride of Satan.) Selected Bibliography
