Of Rick R. Reed, Unzipped magazine said, "You could call him the Stephen King of gay horror." Reed has chronicled the sexual and horrific lives of the misbegotten in novels like IM, In the Blood, High Risk, A Face Without a Heart (which Fangoria magazine called "a rarity...a really well done update that's as good as its source material."), and several others. Reed's short fiction has appeared in nearly twenty anthologies; his short fiction was collected in 2006 in Twisted: Tales of Obsession and Terror.

In 2009, watch for Bashed, a dark suspense story about a hate crime and its repercussions (MLR Press). He lives in Seattle, WA with his partner.
