Steven E. Wedel

Steven E. Wedel (April 28, 1966, Stillwater, Oklahoma) is an American author currently residing in Moore, Oklahoma. He is best known for his series of books in The Werewolf Saga, all published by Scrybe Press of Morristown, New York.

Wedel has earned praise from fellow authors Tom Piccirilli, Gary A. Braunbeck, Brian Keene and others, as well as from genre and mainstream publications like City Slab, Blood Rose and Rue Morgue magazines and The Oklahoman newspaper.

Wedel's earliest influences were authors such as Wilson Rawls and Fred Gibson. He later began reading fantasy fiction by authors like J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis and others before becoming an avid reader of horror fiction. Later influences include Stephen King, Charles L. Grant and William Peter Blatty.

Of his most recent book, Seven Days in Benevolence, one reviewer called it, "A classically creepy ghost story, Seven Days in Benevolence is a fast paced, tantalizingly horrific novella that’s perfect for hungry ghost story fans. The short length makes it an easy read, and its dazzling climax will leave readers breathless." Regarding The Werewolf Saga, another reviewer remarked, "What you will find is pure story told in a chiseled down, straightforward style that's as engaging as it is rewarding."
