Robert A. Brown has spent most of his working life in public education, serving as both a reading specialist and a principal, but he has also authored several nonfiction pieces dealing with the Great Depression and its popular culture, including western movies and the so-called "Spicy" magazines of the period. His work includes a piece on the legend of cowboy-movie star Tom Mix tcommissioned by the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum. An internationally known collector of such nostalgic items such as movie paper, radio premiums, and pulp magazines, Brown supplied the art and wrote the text for Kitchen Sink Press's popular trading card series Spicy: Naughty '30s Pulp Covers and Spicy: More Naughty '30s Pulp Covers, which quickly became sold-out collector's items.
Brown initiated what became The Cleansing, writing letters on authentic period stationery to his old friend Wooley, using his deep knowledge of the 1930s to portray himself as the WPA employee beset by rural horrors who became The Cleansing's protagonist.
John Wooley made his first professional sale in the late 1960s, placing a script with the legendary Eerie magazine. He's now in his sixth decade as a professional writer, having written three mass-market paperback horror novels with co-author Ron Wolfe, including Death's Door, which was one of the first books released under Dell's Abyss imprint and nominated for a Bram Stoker Award. His solo horror and fantasy novels include Awash in the Blood, Ghost Band, and Dark Within, the latter a finalist for the Oklahoma Book Award.
Wooley is also the author of the critically acclaimed biographies Wes Craven: A Man and His Nightmares and Right Down the Middle: The Ralph Terry Story. He has co-written or contributed to several volumes of Michael H. Price's Forgotten Horrors series of movie books and co-hosts the podcast of the same name.

The Cleansing
|
Some secrets are best left buried...
As The Cleansing trilogy roars to a conclusion, trouble and terror assail WPA Folklore Project writer Robert A. Brown from all sides, boiling up in a cauldron of horror that threatens to destroy both him and his extraordinary "seventh sense."
This concluding volume of the three-book series, following Seventh Sense and Satan's Swine, finds Robert on the trail of eldritch secrets thought to be long buried in the remote town of Mackaville, Arkansas, a place with a shocking past that Robert finally unearths — to his everlasting horror.
Set in 1939 and told via letters sent to his friend John Wooley, Sinister Serpent completes the trilogy that has earned praise from critics and readers for its vivid evocation of the best of the weird-pulp literature of the '30s.
Will Robert Brown and his seventh sense survive a final all-out, mind-numbing attack?
Praise For The Cleansing Trilogy
"The Cleansing will bear mentioning in the same breath with Lovecraft and Robert Bloch and Robert E. Howard, with as compelling a voice as any such Architects of the Weird."— Michael H. Price, author of the Forgotten Horrors series
"…like entering a time machine and reading a great pulp magazine from the 1930's!"— Bruce Hershenson, dealer and publisher
"Out of place, stranded, surrounded by secrets — you had me at creepy little town....Writers have been telling horror stories through letters since Mary Shelley set quill to paper. Robert A. Brown and John Wooley bring back that quaint old object, the typewriter, and find it haunted by history." — Ron Wolfe, author of Hellraiser and Knights of the Living Dead
