William R. Eakin (Bill)
William R. Eakin (Bill) is best known for his award-winning stories set in his own Redgunk, Mississippi - one which just won 2nd place in the Realms of Fantasy Readers’ Choice of Best from 2009. His collections Redgunk Tales: Tales from the Kudzu and UFOs Over Redgunk, Volumes One and Two of a 6 volume series,
are now available! If you’ve never read Redgunk, and if you did not get to
see the original publications, then get introduced for less than 10 dollars
(plus shipping) at: http://www.genremall.com/fictionr.htm#redgunk.
In the book jacket blurbs for his original collection Redgunk Tales (Invisible Cites Press, 2001), Kim Mohan called Bill a "brilliant storyteller"; Shawna McCarthy said he is "a truly original and unique voice" comparable to "James Joyce
on moonshine." Reviewers have called him a "brilliant stylist" creating
a “genre all his own,” something like “Bhagavad-Gita meets National Enquirer." Bill’s work has been featured numerous times in Amazing Stories and seven times in Realms of Fantasy; in Black October, City Slab, Albedo One; Fantastic Stories, Science Fiction Age, F&SF, Space and Time, and sci-fi.com; and it includes his satirical novel Tick Hill - best described as an obscene gesture at an obscene world!
