✦ Synopsis

Doris Piserchia (October 11, 1928–September 15, 2021), American author of darkly comic, imaginative fiction, who published thirteen novels and nearly a score of short stories between 1966 and 1983. Perhaps too unpredictable and emotionally intense for the science fiction market where they originally appeared, these tales run the gamut from a metaphysical time travel story (Mister Justice) to genre-defying escapist yarns (Spaceling, Star Rider) to an Appalachian vampire novel (Blood County). Although she stopped publishing in the early '80s after an untimely death in her family, Piserchia's work remains as fresh as the day it was written, and continues to spark Internet commentary and sporadic movie proposals.
