I started reading him because of one of Stephens articles in EW where he listed his summer reading. I came a' hunting for a Bentley Little thread and there he be! I've read all of his works and love him.

Has anyone ever met him at a book signing? I think he has done signings before, but I'm not sure.Īgain, though, I have to say: Little's next book should be titled 'The Author.' But obviously I don't know, and in actuality, it probably isn't (and no, I do not think it is King, even though his writing is very complementary to it). It's hard to believe this isn't a pseudonymous situation. But, since he really hasn't become a big name outside of his large cult audience (I'm assuming it is about that size, I don't really know), I would assume he would switch gears and start to pull a King and get into the pop culture. Perhaps he created this mystery to sell books (yet no one ever seems to mention it). So, why wouldn't he? I don't even think there is any video footage of him. And something about him being born after his mother saw the world premiere of 'Psycho.' It all reads so odd.īut perhaps the weirdest thing is, if this guy did some promotion, his books would be much more successful. His books have a bio blurb that say something like he was married to his wife (I think it specifically says Chinese wife) by a justice of the peace in Tombstone, Arizona. I don't believe his birthday has ever been revealed.just the year, 1960, at Wikipedia. There is such a mystery to him that it almost begs to be a story itself. What do you gals and guys make of him? Is he just a writer who really wants to do the most minimal amount of promotion, or do you think the name is a pseudonym for someone else? I haven't read too many, but I really loved 'His Father's Son' and 'Dispatch.'īut I didn't want to post this so much for his books as I did for the author himself. I'm sure many here have read at least one Bentley Little book.
