He's wearing a plain black pocket tee, blue jeans, and black sneakers. I know that he has very recently undergone surgery to repair a crack in his spine that was a relic of a childhood fall down a flight of concrete stairs. Soon, a yellow cab pulls into the parking lot and Gary emerges, leaning heavily on a wooden cane. I arrive early and wait on the sidewalk beyond the canopied front entrance of the restaurant. We decided over the phone to meet in front of the Cap City Diner on Olentangy Boulevard. I meet Gary for lunch on a warm spring day in Columbus, OH to discuss his past, present, and future work. He is also the author of four novels - In Hollow Houses, Time Was, The Indifference of Heaven, and This Flesh Unknown - and three short story collections: the critically-acclaimed Things Left Behind, his new CD-ROM compendium Sorties, Cathexes, and Personal Effects, and Escaping Purgatory, a collaboration with noted horror artist Alan Clark. Braunbeck is the author of close to 200 stories that have appeared in a wide variety of anthologies and magazines such as Cemetery Dance and The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction.
