About

August 3, 2010

Seth M. Baker creates supernatural, speculative, and fantastical tales that flirt with the genres of sci-fi, contemporary fantasy, and magical realism.

After studying English at Marshall University, he spent two summers walking in the woods. He eventually married his long-time girlfriend and moved with her to South Korea, where he began Reaction: End of the Iron Age Book 1. Later, in Thailand, he formulated a plan for the remaining books in the series. His earliest memory is of a wildfire consuming the forest behind his house.

He currently lives on a farm in Appalachia with his wife, infant son, and cat.

If you’re interested, I’m influenced by:

Joyce Carol Oates, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Tom Robbins, Ralph Ellison, Neal Stephenson, Joseph Heller, Tom Wolfe, and countless others.
