William Scott Home William Scott Home (born January 2, 1940) is the pen name (and, later, legal name) of an American author, poet and biologist principally known for writing horror and dark fantasy. Best known for a short story that appeared in 1978 in "The Year’s Best Horror Stories" (along with Stephen King’s “Children of the Corn”, which also made the cut that year), Home was most prolific during the 1970s and 80s when his poetry and fiction was published in a wide range of media. Part of a circle of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror writers that paid homage to M. P. Shiel and H. P. Lovecraft, Home is considered by many to be a unique talent in his own right. His range of styles and control of language and suspense is well-demonstrated in his published collection: "Hollow Faces, Merciless Moons". While he has not published much since the 1980s, Home is still writing and currently lives in the Dyea Valley, west of Skagway, Alaska.
