F. Paul Wilson's Reference Page

A strikingly beautiful edition of my "lost" novel, long out of print. After finishing THE TOUCH in 1985, the next story in line returned to WW2, but this time to the Pacific Theater. I'd been reading a few books that recounted how nicely the Pearl Harbor attack played into Roosevelt's desire to go to war against the Axis, hinting that Pearl had been set up. The result was a revisionist historical family saga horror war novel (try saying that fast 3 times) that took me almost two years to write and research. A mix of cultural fanaticism and wrenchingly dark supernatural horror.

I'm very proud of BLACK WIND. Looking at it in terms of character development and sweeping plot, it's probably my most accomplished work. I'm delighted it will be back in print. It's got a high price tag, but it's high-quality bookcraft.

A two-thousand-year-old scroll is found in the Negev Desert. It describes what might be the final resting place of Mary, the mother of Jesus. To the disappointment of all, the ink is dated as less than a dozen years old. A fake. But one woman believes and goes searching. What she finds will change the world – forever.

VIRGIN is a religious thriller of international scope, traipsing through the Judean Wilderness, the shore of the Dead Sea, the River Lee in Ireland, the Lower East Side of Manhattan, Big Sur, and the Central Pacific. It's peopled with various believers and skeptics: a priest and nun who are lovers; a cardinal who has spent his life debunking miracles and is now desperately in need of one; a US Senator with a son dying of AIDS; his vicious chief of security; and Kesev, the mysterious Israeli Shin Bet officer who was derelict in his unofficial life task of guarding the remains of "The Mother" and is determined to retrieve her at any cost.

A trade paperback edition at $16.95. The limited edition hardcover is almost sold out, but the good folks at Borderlands Press have decided to make the novel available to the non-collector at a fraction of the hardcover price. It’s now in large-format paperback.

Heroes don't always
look the part.

He was a tery, a lean, bearish creature with no name.

The human soldiers left dead. Just another dumb animal on their extermination list. But he didn't die.

Animals weren't the only beings on the list. Certain humans were marked for extinction as well.

A fugitive band found him and brought him back from the brink. He became their pet, their mascot. And still he had no name. He was simply "the tery."

He soon learned that these were no ordinary humans, and learned too that he was no ordinary tery. The humans had no idea that the creature they fed table scraps and patted on the head would soon turn their world upside down and change it forever. By then he had a name.

THE TERY - A beauty-and-the-beast fable that only F. Paul Wilson could tell, full of wonder and horror, brimming with strange landscapes and hideous mutations from science run amok. An unforgettable tale of the extremes of the human spirit--of bravery and depravity, of innocence and evil.

Originally a Repairman Jack short story I did for the 1990 World Fantasy Convention program book when I was Guest of Honor. (A copy recently sold for $38.50 on eBay.) It's been virtually impossible to find - until now. I incorporated the story into ALL THE RAGE, but this revised, expanded version is a signed stand-alone with a fabulous cover by Rick Sardinha. (For those of you who've wondered what a rakosh looks like, check out Rick's version.)

This revision is unique in that I've combined the original short story (in which Vicky is present) with the new material written for ALL THE RAGE (in which Vicky is not). So this should be a new experience.

But be warned: If you've read ALL THE RAGE, you've pretty much read this story.
