| Robert
Hood is an experienced writer of horror-fantasy, science
fiction and crime for adults, young adults and children alike. |
 |
|
| His
imagination veers toward the strange and the sinister, always
seeking to bring his readers back to reality, no matter what
distant world he may have led them to first. |
|
| His
stories have appeared in major magazines and anthologies worldwide,
and he has won a number of important awards over the years. |
|
| Several
years ago, in cahoots with his friend Bill Condon, Robert
wrote CREEPERS - a series of nine comic horror novels for
children. These were read enthusiastically by younger readers
and have since been published overseas. They were very weird
and very funny. |
|
| Robert's
young adult novel BACKSTREETS, however, was a study of grief
which touched the hearts and imaginations of more mature readers
and was grounded firmly in the real world. While not a horror
novel, it explored a dark area of the human spirit, as its
main character Kel seeks for his dead friend in the backstreets
of a large city. |
|
| BACKSTREETS
was listed as a Notable Book by the CBC. |
|
| Now
Robert has turned his hand to the strange mythology of the
SHADES - taking the ghost tale and reworking it for a new
millennium. |
|
| This
is high adventure in a threatening and complex world of darkness
and danger - a world that is the one we live in, but seen
through different eyes. |
