Order of Bentley Little Books
Bentley Little is an American horror novelist who sets his chilling tales in Arizona and throughout the Southwestern United States. With an uncompromising approach to the genre, Little holds nothing back when it comes to making readers squirm through his horror fiction. In an industry dominated by self-promotion, he stands apart by letting his work speak for itself rather than engaging in extensive marketing efforts. Remarkably, he doesn't maintain internet access and keeps promotional activities to a minimum, limiting himself to occasional interviews when his books are released. Little divides his time between Arizona, where he does his writing, and Fullerton, California, where he resides with his wife, Wai Sau, and their son.
Little's publishing career launched in 1990 with The Revelation, a novel that originated as his master's thesis and earned him the prestigious 1990 Bram Stoker Award. He maintains a steady creative output, producing one novel annually along with short stories. Below is a list of Bentley Little's books in order of when they were originally published:
