James Cheetham

4.2/5 ( ratings)
Librarian's Note: This is James^^Cheetham, with each ^ signifying a space.

James Cheetham has spent his entire life on the Canadian prairies growing up in Manitoba where the winters last forever. He spent many a blizzard enthralled in horror movies and books, hunkered down while the elements outside had their way. He now resides on an acreage near Bird’s Hill Park with his wife Tanya and daughter Stephanie.

Cheetham was working at a maximum security prison as a Corrections Officer, most of that time spent working on the psychiatric ward of the institution. It was there where many of his ideas for stories were born.

His first novel, Fade To Pale has developed a cult following. Cocktail Reviews calls Fade To Pale “psychologically acute and entertaining, dark and inspiring, deeply personal and universally appealing all at the same time”. It also won Best Horror Novel of 2007 at Preditors and Editors.

His short story The Beekeeper was released in an anthology called Weirdly: A Collection of Strange Stories. Said of The Beekeeper: “A literary feel to this one, and immensely enjoyable if you like tales with a deeper meaning. With a hint of creepiness and other worldly-ness, I’ll remember this tale forever.” The Beekeeper won Best Short Horror of 2007 at Preditors and Editors.

Cheetham was also voted SNM Magazine's 2008 author of the year. SNM published two of Cheetham's stories in two separate anthologies. The Wilting May Flowers was published in Bonded By Blood, and Bumper Shine was published in Bonded By Blood II: Romance in Red. In January of 2010 SNM also published Frost on the Pane.

Cheetham's unpublished zombie series Seasons of The Brittle Harvest has spawned a website where people can have their photos turned into zombies and placed on Tshirts. This venture also spawned a collaboration with Myphotocookie.com and Eric Maciejkow and James released an onslaught of Personalized Zombie Cookies upon the Halloween world. Word is, Halloween of 2010 will be no different.

The zombies have also taken to the road along with Photographer Doug Ritter, their last stop, the Minneapolis Crypticon in 2009.

Cheetham is the co-creator of The Dark Fiction Guild, along with fellow writer Garth Von Buchholz, was recently interviewed for the 200th anniversary of Edgar Allan Poe along with Alan Parsons and Michael Connelley, and is the creator of Unconventional Interviews, a website dedicated to uncovering the thoughts of people who live on the fringe of society.

James Cheetham is expected to become one of Canada's rare examples of fine Horror fiction.
