Home: About

Sean Taylor is an award-winning writer of stories. He grew up telling lies, and he got
pretty good at it, so now he writes them into full-blown adventures for comic books,
graphic novels, magazines, book anthologies and novels. He makes stuff up for money,
and he writes it down for fun. He's a lucky fellow that way.
He has been referred to as a "genre-defying literary chameleon." That just means
he writes stuff. All kinds of stuff. Lit stuff. Pulp stuff. Horror stuff. Sci-fi stuff.
Poetry stuff. Non-fiction stuff. Comic book stuff. He digs it all.
He dreams for the days of Vonnegut and Bradbury, where writers could write what
they wanted instead getting pigeon-holed into epics and series and marketing-based
genres that were layered in six feet of bricks. (For the love of God, Montressor!)
He likes to leapfrog around it all like a toad hopped up on speed.
In his writing life, he has directed the “lives” of zombies, super heroes, goddesses,
dominatrices, Bad Girls, pulp heroes, and yes, even frogs, for such diverse bosses
as IDW Publishing, Gene Simmons, and The Oxygen Network.
He also recently entered the world of board/card game design and plans to buy his
second and third Malibu Summer home with the money he makes from those ventures.
(Yes, that's a joke. Writing hasn't even managed to pay for his first Malibu Summer home yet.)

“Sean Taylor is a serious student of the pulp arts and
keeps the grand tradition alive in his stories. This is
escapist fiction the way it used to be done.”
—Charles Ardai
"Sean Taylor delivers the thrills and chills in this
collection of elevated pulp goodness..”
—Gary Phillips
"...More fully-rounded, more realistic and, as a direct result,
more human than all but the best superhero comic book work."
—Dwayne McDuffie
“Sean Taylor’s stories focus less on the obvious trappings
of the genre, instead homing in on the conflicted, flawed
human beings for whom greater-than-mortal powers
don’t convey greater-than-mortal morality.”
—Tom Brevoort
“Once you’re done reading, you’ll know you read a
well-crafted, fully rounded piece of work.”
—Dan Jurgens
“Taylor’s stories pulse with a visceral reality. ...lives
in the place where modern fiction meets mythology.”
—Barbara Randall Kesel
“If there are any tears in these riveting tales — and, I’m afraid, there are —
they do not diminish the courage of Taylor’s champions or the power of his
writing. These are the quiet pains that stay with the readers and, hopefully,
help them appreciate the heroes in their own lives.”
—Jenny Blake (formerly Tony Isabella)
“I’ll sum it up as simply as I can: you’re going to care. That’s what Sean
does with his characters and the stories they inhabit. He makes you care.”
—Erik Burnham
"A genre-defying literary chameleon... delivering tales that defy genre boundaries,
champion diversity, and transcend traditional publishing restraints. Taylor leaps across
styles with fearless energy and bold imagination, crafting raw, emotional pieces that
explore creativity, survival, and the strange beauty of storytelling itself."
—Stacey Olsen (The Crazy Book Lady)
