Philip Fracassi

Philip Fracassi ist ein amerikanischer Schriftsteller, der für seine Horror- und Dark-Fantasy-Romane bekannt ist, darunter "A Child Alone with Strangers", "Gothic", "Boys in the Valley" und "The Autumn Springs Retirement Home Massacre". Seine Kurzgeschichtensammlungen wie "Behold the Void", "Beneath a Pale Sky" und "No One Is Safe!" haben große Anerkennung erhalten, wobei "Beneath a Pale Sky" eine Bram-Stoker-Award-Nominierung erhielt und als eine der besten Sammlungen des Jahres von Rue Morgue Magazine ausgezeichnet wurde. Seine Werke erschienen in renommierten Publikationen wie "Best Horror of the Year", "Nightmare Magazine" und "Black Static".

Fracassis Schreiben verbindet psychologische Spannung mit intensivem Horror und erforscht oft Themen wie Isolation und existenzielle Ängste. Seine Geschichten wurden verfilmt, darunter der A24-Film "Altar", basierend auf seiner gleichnamigen Kurzgeschichte. Zudem wurden seine Romane und Sammlungen in mehreren Sprachen veröffentlicht und in Deluxe-Editionen von Spezialverlagen wie Cemetery Dance und Lividian Press herausgebracht. Neben Belletristik hat er Drehbücher für Filme verfasst, die von Disney und Lifetime vertrieben wurden.

Fracassi lebt in Los Angeles und erweitert kontinuierlich sein literarisches Werk mit kommenden Romanen wie "The Third Rule of Time Travel" und "Sarafina". Seine Arbeiten erhielten Nominierungen für bedeutende Preise wie den Bram Stoker Award und den British Fantasy Award und wurden von The New York Times als "furchterregend gut" gelobt. Er bleibt sowohl im Verlagswesen als auch in der Filmentwicklung aktiv.
