D. Harlan Wilson (b. 1971 in Grand Rapids, Michigan) is an American short-story writer and novelist whose body of work is typically associated with the genres of irrealism, science fiction, fantasy, and Bizarro fiction. Elements of splatterpunk, absurdism, literary fiction, ultraviolence, and postmodernism deeply inform his writing, too. He is the author of several books, and hundreds of his stories have appeared in magazines, journals and anthologies throughout the world in several languages.
A literary critic in addition to a fiction author, Wilson holds a Ph.D. in English and is a college professor. Both his cultural criticism and creative writing focus on how the human condition is an increasingly pathological construction of technocapitalist media forces.
Wilson is also the editor-in-chief of The Dream People, an online journal of Bizarro literature, art and animation.
