Timeline
Kirby McCauley (September 11, 1941 – August 30, 2014) was a Minnesota-born American fan of the macabre who went on to a career as a major literary agent and editor professionally based in New York City, becoming influential in Modern Horror.
Kirby McCauley attended the University of Minnesota and worked as an insurance salesman in the Twin Cities.
He was a fan of H. P. Lovecraft and the Weird Tales school of horror writers.
By the mid-1960s McCauley was corresponding with his favourite supernatural writer, British ghost story great Robert Aickman.
When he decided to move to New York City in the 1970s to become a literary agent, writer and friend Richard L. Tierney helped drive him there to set up.
McCauley soon had a successful agency representing authors such as Stephen King, Roger Zelazny, and George R. R. Martin, who credits him with helping to launch his writing career.
In the following years King's star rose steadily, a result both of his productivity and the promotion his agent provided for him.
In 1973, Etchings and Odysseys magazine was launched in Minneapolis by McCauley, John J. Koblas, Eric Carlson, Joe West and others.
In 1975, McCauley chaired the first World Fantasy Convention, an event he conceived with T. E. D. Klein and several others.
McCauley was a co-executive producer on the John Carpenter-directed 1983 movie of Stephen King's novel Christine.
The novel Pet Sematary is dedicated to McCauley, and all but the earliest of the pseudonymous Richard Bachman novels were copyrighted in his name; for the first edition of Thinner (1984), McCauley provided him with a fake author picture of the elusive "Bachman" that actually showed his own insurance agent, Richard Manuel.
He received special thanks on the 1987 King-based movie Creepshow 2 and the 2008 documentary about the making of Frank Darabont's 2007 version of King's The Mist, titled When Darkness Came: The Making of The Mist.
McCauley was the recipient of the 1996 Minnesota Fantasy Award, presented at Arcana 26 (Oct 4–6, 1996) - see Arcana (convention).
King's memoir On Writing (2000) covers the years he worked with McCauley.
The success of King convinced publishers that a market existed for this sort of fiction and a host of contracts were signed by McCauley, who represented many horror writers with his agency.
He died of kidney failure associated with long-term diabetes in August 2014.
