Robin Spriggs
Robin Spriggs (born April 1, 1974) is an American writer, actor, and poet. Known primarily as a dark fabulist, he is the author of the critically acclaimed ''The Untold Tales of Ozman Droom,'' ''Diary of a Gentleman Diabolist,'' and ''Wondrous Strange: Tales of the Uncanny.''() He is the co-author of ''The Dracula Poems: A Poetic Encounter with the Lord of Vampires'' and the creator of ''Capes & Cowls: Adventures in Wyrd City,'' a "book-in-a-box" superhero board game based on his illustrated series, ''Capes & Cowls: The Wyrd City Chronicles.''
== Overview ==
Spriggs holds degrees in both English and Theatre. He has been nominated for a Pushcart Prize, a Bram Stoker Award, a Rhysling Award, and received honorable mention in ''The Year’s Best Fantasy and Horror''. His fiction and poetry have appeared in such publications as ''Beyond,'' ''The Rhysling Anthology,'' ''Cemetery Dance,'' ''Going Postal,'' ''Space & Time,'' ''Terminal Fright,'' ''A Season in Carcosa,'' and the Shirley Jackson Award-winning anthology ''The Grimscribe's Puppets.''
The literary offerings of Robin Spriggs have been well received by critics. ''Publishers Weekly,'' in its review of ''The Untold Tales of Ozman Droom,'' observed, "Spriggs evokes terror and awe," and "Medium is the message in this dazzling anti-story, a love letter to the weird."〔''Publishers Weekly,'' Volume 261, #24 (June 16, 2014)〕
''Rue Morgue'' declared ''The Untold Tales of Ozman Droom'' "A hard-to-describe yet highly entertaining compilation . . . an experience weird fiction fans should not pass up."〔''Rue Morgue,'' #147 (August 2014)〕
According to ''Cemetery Dance'' magazine, "Spriggs displays a wide range of talents in both form and substance. He's equally comfortable in the short story, short-short and novella lengths. His tone varies from the gently whimsical to the truly nasty. He crosses genre lines with ease, showing strength in all forms of the fantastic, from horror to fantasy to science fiction."〔Peck, Garrett, ''Cemetery Dance'' #40 (2002), 1SSN 1047-7675〕
His lyrical prose, with its dreamlike and often frightening depiction of reality, has been compared to the work of such writers as Edgar Allan Poe, Robert Walser, Ray Bradbury, Jorge Luis Borges, Robert Aickman, Flannery O'Connor, and Lord Dunsany. Much of Spriggs's work, in fact, falls into the category of prose poetry, prompting thriller author Harry Shannon to refer to him as "a linguistic acrobat who works without a net."〔Shannon, Harry, "Story Time Reviews," Feo Amante's Horror Home Page〕
Noted editor and anthologist Ellen Datlow, in volume 3 of her ''The Best Horror of the Year,'' wrote: "''Diary of a Gentleman Diabolist'' by Robin Spriggs is a series of well-wrought interconnected prose poems of the ghostly and uncanny."〔''Best Horror of the Year, Volume 3, (Nightshade Books)〕 Internationally distributed fan magazine ''Fangoria'' referred to the same collection as "a rather ingenious little grimoire charting—in fractured, dreamlike form—the trip of a seeker, someone who dives head first into the fevered realms of black magic and beyond, encountering all manner of arcane horror and supernatural phenomena."
Due to the cult popularity of his aforementioned ''Dracula Poems,'' the long out-of-print book often commands inordinately high prices.()
As an actor, Spriggs was called "terrific" by Variety magazine () for his 2004 performance in Paul Schattel's ''Sinkhole.''() He appeared as Captain Franco in the NBC science-fiction series ''Revolution'', created by Eric Kripke and produced by J. J. Abrams, and as Chris Amante in the USA Network drama series ''Necessary Roughness''.
