BEV VINCENT has been a contributing editor for Cemetery Dance magazine since 2001, where he writes News from the Dead Zone and the occasional book review and interview. His book The Road to the Dark Tower, the first critical overview of Stephen King’s “Dark Tower” series, will be published by NAL in November 2004. He is a Ph. D. chemist who works for a high-tech instrumentation company in a north Houston suburb. In addition to numerous book review appearances in a local newspaper, he’s had short stories in Cemetery Dance, Shivers 2, All Hallows and a number of other magazines and anthologies. He’s also a co-author of over thirty peer-reviewed scientific articles, some containing words longer than this bio. See his web site: ww.BevVincent.com. Bev lives with his wife and teenage daughter. Since his daughter learned to drive recently, he’s been writing a lot more horror.
