About Me

Here's my standard biography...Darren Callahan has written drama for the BBC, The Sci Fi Channel, and New York City’s Radio Pacifica. He is a winner of NPR's National Radio Drama Award, and his writing has appeared in a number of music and fiction magazines. His plays include “Water Pressure,” “The White Airplane,” and “Horror Academy.” Novels include “The Audrey Green Chronicles,” “Documentia,” and "City of Human Remains." He's also released over 20 albums. His website, http://www.darrencallahan.com, features hundreds of articles about his endeavors, and is the central place to purchase almost anything he's released.

My Interests

Novels, films, albums -- anything different that breaks new ground, anything firmly rooted in genre.

I'd like to meet:

Writers, musicians, readers, listeners.

Music:

Eclectic rock, electronica, pre-1965 Jazz.

Movies:

Quality horror, sci-fi, or thriller.

Television:

The Office?

Books:

Classics, particularly genre classics, as they seem to have sturdier writing than more modern work. Faves include E.L. Doctorow, Peter Carey, Kobo Abe, Michael Faber, Arturo Perez-Reverte, Robert Louis Stevenson, Martin Amis, Albert Camus, Kobo Abe, Richard Matheson, John Irving, Agatha Christie, Gunter Grass, Umberto Eco, H.G. Wells, Jules Verne, Margaret Atwood, Anthony Burgess, etc. #1 novel of all time is "The Martian Chronicles" by Ray Bradury.

Heroes:

Writers, musicians, people of good character.
