Lee Anderson is an American novelist, short story writer, and playwright. His literary work is deeply shaped by the stark social, cultural, and economic contrasts between his early life in Florida and his later experiences in New York City. Anderson's writing spans a wide array of genres, including the abstract, fantastic, lurid, absurd, and even the horrific. In 2020, he realized his lifelong ambition of founding his own publishing company, Palm Circle Press.

 

Since the early 1990s, Anderson has been a prolific contributor to both small literary magazines and major commercial presses. His work has appeared in The New Times – Broward/Palm Beach, Broadkill Review, Remington Review, Citron Review, Fictional Café, Fiction International, and The Miami Herald. A collection of his more popular short stories was published in 2023 under the title Dark Lords of the Trailer Park.

 

Anderson's novel What Happened at Sisters Creek (2023) made an indelible mark on  the horror genre, while his acclaimed dark fantasy series, The Lost Books of Jyn, Book One: The Atrocity Bells (2021) and Book Two: The Apocalypse Wedding (2024), has been hailed as "an enduring work of literature" by top influencer Tarrant-Arhtur Henry and "a testament to the world of imagination" by author Henry Jackson III.

 

His plays Supper's Ready (2002) and Little America (2005) were both successfully staged off-Broadway in New York City.
