Order of Bentley Little Books
Bentley Little is an American author of horror novels. His novels are set in Arizona and the Southwestern United States. He believes that there are no holds barred in getting the readers to squirm while reading his horror fiction. Unlike most authors, he prefers to be judged based on the quality of his work, rather than by self-promotion. He doesn’t even have internet access. Besides a few interviews he does to promote his books, he avoids a lot of the promotion almost every author does. Bentley splits his time between Arizona – where he writes – and Fullerton, California – where he lives with his wife, Wai Sau, and their son.
Bentley Little became a published author in 1990 with the novel The Revelation, which he wrote for his master’s thesis. The novel went on to win the 1990 Bram Stoker Award. He writes at a pace of one novel per year, plus short stories. Below is a list of Bentley Little’s books in order of when they were originally published:

I am an avid Bentley reader. I have all of his books including collections and I love them all with the exception of the last one, Gloria. I think he went a little far with the existentialism. Which by the way I do like for instance Albert camus, but this book for me was a downer. It’s been about a year since that book and I’m hoping that he comes out with another book soon not a storyline like Gloria rather any of his previous books. I check every day and hope to see a new one listed.
Thank you so much for listing Bentley Little. This is the first time I’ve seen a photograph of him..I was starting to think he really didn’t exist!!! He reminds me a great deal of Dean Koontz back in his early days. His descriptions of the American Southwest, it sorta makes me think twice about going there!!! Thank you again…I love this site!
You’re welcome, Susan! There are a handful of “house names” on this site (and one I’m working on right now), but Bentley isn’t one of them.
