Brendan Connell (born 1970) is an American author and translator. Though his work often falls into the horror and fantasy genres, it has also often been called unclassifiable and avant-garde. [1] [2] His style has been compared to that of J.K. Huysmans [3] and Angela Carter. [4] Some of his shorter fiction, such as that contained in his collection Metrophilias, has been referred to as prose poetry. [5]
Influences he has cited include Balzac and Ponson du Terrail. [6] He has also written many lyrics for the Serbian band Kodagain. [6]
