Lawrence C. Connolly was born in 1951 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He began writing professionally in the early 1980's, with stories appearing in the magazines "Amazing Stories" and "Rod Serling's Twilight Zone," some of which were reprinted in volumes of "Year's Best Horror Stories," edited by
Karl Edward Wagner. His story "Echoes" has been the basis for two short films, the first by
Steve Muscarella (1991) and the second by
Rodney Altman (2004). Connolly's stories are available in three collections: "Visions" (2009), "This Way to Egress" (2010) and "Voices" (2011). "Voices" was a finalist for the Bram Stoker Award. Connolly is also the author of the Veins Cycle novels, supernatural thrillers set in rural Pennsylvania.
