SCOTT EDELMAN has published 135+ short stories in magazines such as Lightspeed, Analog, Apex, and The Twilight Zone, and in anthologies such as Why New Yorkers Smoke, Crossroads: Southern Tales of the Fantastic, and MetaHorror. He began his professional writing career in the comics industry, creating Marvel’s version of The Scarecrow and writing many horror shorts for the DC anthology books House of Mystery, House of Secrets, Secrets of Haunted House, and others.
His collection of zombie fiction, What Will Come After was a finalist for the Shirley Jackson Memorial Award. And that’s far from his only zombie connection, as he appeared as one in an episode of Z Nation where he was put down by series star D. J. Quall. His stories have been collected in These Words Are Haunted, What Will Come After (which was a finalist for the Shirley Jackson Memorial Award), Tell Me Like You Done Before, Things That Never Happened (about which Publishers Weekly wrote, "his talent is undeniable"), and (most recently) 101 Things to Do Before You're Downloaded. He has been a Bram Stoker Award finalist eight times, both in the category of Short Story and Long Fiction.
He's also the host of the 2026 Hugo Award-nominated Eating the Fantastic podcast, which since February 2016 has allowed listeners to eavesdrop on his meals with creators of science fiction, fantasy, horror, comics, and more. Find him at
