Richard Gilliam

Richard Gilliam

Richard Gilliam is an author and editor of such theme anthologies as "Confederacy of the Dead" (1993), "Phobias" (1994) and the "Grails" series (1992-94). He has contributed fantasy short stories to numerous books and magazines, and his non-fiction includes "Joltin' Joe DiMaggio" (1999).

Gilliam began as a sportswriter and worked as a publicist to Coach Bear Bryant at the University of Alabama. A veteran anthologist, he worked from his home in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

He devised the Movie Links online game in 1990, at least four years before the quite similar Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon game was promoted in 1994. Gilliam's game was much more difficult in that a player was required to find the shortest number of movies linking actors as diverse as, say, Gloria Swanson and Chris Farley rather than links to the same specific actor (a feat which can be memorized).

Awards

His story "Caroline and Caleb" was a Best Novella nominee in the 1993 Bram Stoker Awards, given annually by the Horror Writers Association.
