Brian James Freeman has been working in the horror genre since the early 2000s as both a writer and an editor. His fiction includes novels like “The Painted Darkness” (2010) and “The Halloween Children” (2017), along with short story collections and novellas. He co-edited the Dark Screams anthology series with Richard Chizmar, which ran nine volumes featuring original horror fiction from prominent authors.
Freeman has a particular connection to the work of Stephen King, having written reference books including “The Illustrated Stephen King Trivia Book” (2012) and “Reading Stephen King” (2017).

His children’s books “The Zombie Who Cried Human” (2018) and “The Girl Who Builds Monsters” (2020) show a lighter side to his interest in the macabre.
