Gary Brandner

Gary Brandner

Gary Brandner (born 1933) is an American horror author best known for his werewolf themed trilogy of novels, "The Howling". The first book in the series was loosely adapted as a motion picture in 1981. Brandner's second and third Howling novels, published in 1978 and 1985 respectively, have no connection to the film series, though he was involved in writing the screenplay for the second Howling film. The fourth film in the Howling series, "", is actually the closest adaptation of Brandner's original novel, though this too varies to some degree.

Brandner's novel "Walkers" was adapted and filmed for television as "From The Dead Of Night". He also wrote the screenplay for the 1989 horror film "Cameron's Closet".

Born in the Midwest and much traveled during his formative years, Brandner has published more than 30 novels, over 100 short stories, and also written a handful of screenplays. After graduating from the University of Washington, he worked as an amateur boxer, bartender, surveyor, loan company investigator, advertising copywriter, and technical writer before turning to fiction writing. Brandner currently lives with his wife and several cats in California’s San Fernando Valley.
