New Guestblogger: Author/Screenwriter/Mad Genius John Shirley

Many thanks to our outgoing guestblogger, filmmaker Christopher Coppola, for a fantastic job — complete with audblog posts from the road.

The BoingBoing gang is very proud to welcome our next guest, legendary author John Shirley.

His most recent novels are Demons and Crawlers, both from Del Rey books. He wrote the cyberpunk novels City Come A-Walkin' and the Eclipse trilogy (now out from Babbage Press). His first non-fiction book is Gurdjieff: An Introduction to his Life and Ideas from Tarcher/Penguin. He was also co-screenwriter of THE CROW. He won the Bram Stoker award for his story collection BLACK BUTTERFLIES (Leisure Books). The authorized fan-created website is here. His blog is at johnshirley.net. John, it's an honor to welcome you to the BoingBoing guestbar!
