Kevin L. Donihe is an American author of bizarro fiction from Kingsport, Tennessee. In the late 90's, he was part of a collective of offbeat authors which included Carlton Mellick III, D. Harlan Wilson, and Vincent Sakowski, among others. This scene evolved into the Bizarro fiction movement in 2005.[1]

His first published story, Every Good Drama, appeared in the Fall 1995 issue of The Blue Lady.[2] Since that time, his fiction and poetry has appeared in ChiZine, Flesh and Blood, Book of Dark Wisdom, Retort Magazine, Dark Discoveries, Dreams and Nightmares, Star*Line, Not One of Us, Enigmatic Tales, Electric Velocipede, The Café Irreal, Psychopoetica, and other venues.[3]

Donihe is also the editor of the Bare Bone anthology series for Raw Dog Screaming Press.[4] A story from the first issue - Donald Burleson's Pump Jack - was reprinted in The Mammoth Book of Best New Horror 13, edited by Stephen Jones.[5]
