Glenn Chadbourne (born October 19, 1959, in Damariscotta, Maine) is an American illustrator and writer best known for his work in horror and dark fantasy. He lives in Newcastle, Maine, and has illustrated numerous book and magazine covers for publishers such as Cemetery Dance Publications, Subterranean Press, and Earthling Publications.[1] His distinctive ink-based style, grounded humor, and stark honesty have earned him acclaim within the horror genre community.

Chadbourne attended Lincoln Academy and later studied at the Portland School of Art, the University of Maine at Augusta, and the University of Southern Maine.[1]

His first published illustration appeared in the late 1980s in *Castle Rock*, a Stephen King fan newsletter, after he won an art contest related to King’s work.[1]

In the early 1990s, he self-published comic books such as *ChillVille* and *Farmer Fiend’s Horror Harvest*. His professional breakthrough came when horror author Rick Hautala introduced him to Cemetery Dance Publications, leading to his illustration work for Hautala’s book *Bedbugs* in 1999.[1]

Chadbourne went on to illustrate Stephen King’s *The Secretary of Dreams*, Volumes 1 (2006) and 2 (2010), solidifying his reputation as a prominent horror illustrator.[1]

In 2013, he was named the Artist Guest of Honor at the Bram Stoker Awards Weekend and World Horror Convention.

He has also contributed weekly editorial cartoons to *The Lincoln County News* for over 40 years.

Chadbourne lives in Newcastle, Maine, with his wife, Sheila, and their dog.
