Sean Costello has been practicing anaesthesiology in Sudbury since 1981. In the late 80’s and early 90’s he published a series of mass market horror novels that garnered him not unrealistic comparisons to Stephen King, and a fan following (Eden’s Eyes 0671668536, Pocket Books, 1989 [mass market pbk]; The Cartoonist 033031338X, Pocket Books, 1990 [mass market pbk]; Captain Quad 0671702246, Pocket Books, 1991 [mass market pbk]). Gradually, however, Sean found the pace and constraints of mass market publishing too frenetic and confining, and jumped off that bandwagon. Roughly 10 years later he returned, but his work now displayed a significant shift to the psychological side of the spectrum from the horror side (Sandman 0973146915 Red Tower, 2000 [trade pbk]; Finders Keepers 0973146907 Red Tower, 2002 [trade pbk]). While still faithful to Costello’s roots in horror and the supernatural, Here After continues that shift. His fans haven’t waited in vain.
