John Steakley (born 1951) is an author, best known for his science fiction writing. He has written two major novels, Armor and Vampire$, the latter of which became the vague basis for John Carpenter's Vampires movie. He has also written no less than four short stories in the sci-fi and fantasy genres. By no means a prolific writer, he has lived most his life in Texas, aside from brief adventures to South America and Hollywood in his youth. Not much is known about him, although he is arguably one of the best "unknown" science fiction authors of our time.
