D. Harlan Wilson (born September 3 1971 in Grand Rapids, Michigan) is an award-winning American short-story writer and novelist whose body of work is typically associated with the genres of irrealism, science fiction, fantasy, horror, and Bizarro fiction. Elements of splatterpunk, absurdism, literary fiction, ultraviolence, and postmodernism deeply inform his writing, too.[1] He is the author of several books, and his stories and flash fiction have appeared in magazines, journals and anthologies in multiple languages.
A literary critic in addition to a fiction author, Wilson holds a Ph.D. and is an associate professor of English at Wright State University-Lake Campus. Both his cultural criticism and creative writing focus on how the human condition is an increasingly pathological construction of technocapitalist media forces.[2]
His work has been allied with a wide range of authors, especially Steve Aylett, John Edward Lawson, Carlton Mellick III, Kevin L. Donihe, Vincent Sakowski and Steve Beard.[3]
Wilson is also the editor-in-chief of The Dream People, an online journal of irreal texts.
