He was born and lives in New York City and attended Brown University where he became a fan of H.CrimeBeat from 1991 to 1993.Writings
He first attracted notice with the novella "The Events at Poroth Farm" (1972), in which a college lecturer, isolated in the countryside and reading horror literature for teaching in the next semester, gradually realises that genuine supernatural horror is taking place around him.Nighttown, was announced by Klein soon afterwards and described by him as "a paranoid horror novel set entirely in New York City", but has not appeared."Nadelman's God", about a man who finds that an overwrought poem he wrote as an adolescent has been used as an incantation to bring a monstrous deity to life.Klein also wrote the screenplay for Dario Argento's 1993 film Trauma, which starred Asia Argento and Piper Laurie.Klein has written two critical essays on weird fiction: Dr Van Helsing's Handy Guide to Ghost Stories (1981), a series of articles for Twilight Zone magazine; and Raising Goosebumps for Fun and Profit (1988), originally written for Writer's Digest.Klein has himself blamed his limited output of fiction on writer's block.Novels
