Seraphim George is a novelist, poet, and playwright whose work spans the haunted edges of the literary imagination-moving fluidly between horror, mystery, dark comedy, and spiritual allegory. His stories explore the meeting place of the sacred and the grotesque, the comic and the tragic, the ordinary and the uncanny.
He is the author of the darkly comic Very Bad Things; and the award-winning novel, Mariner's Hollow, a mystery-horror hybrid first recognized with awards and now currently being re-envisioned as the opening to a larger series. His allegorical novella That Hideous Light and his collections of poetry-including Milkweed for Monarchs, A Swiftly Tilting Shore, Dear Seamus Heaney, and The Floating World-further showcase the breadth of his voice, ranging from the contemplative to the visceral.
