BIOGRAPHY Start with the psychological of mind . Throw in the macabre. Add a dash of the occult, a twist of terror, and a smattering of humor; and thematically, you have a summation of the works of Bill Evans. The author of THE PREPARATION and G...THE STORY OF A MADMAN; Mr. Evans grew up a huge fan of Hitchcock, Karloff, Vincent Price, and Chilly Billy Cardille. As a 10-year-old, the boy would be awakened at midnight by his doting father. Awaiting the child in the t.v. room was a carefully prepared 'Chiller Bag', full of carefully assembled treats. Squealing with delight, the young Billy Evans would position himself squarely in front of the 12-inch screen, armed with his delicious snacks. Both father and son guffawed loudly at the antics of host Chilly Billy and the Chiller Theater cast, during the intervals of the horror film B movie double feature. This routine was a Saturday night Evans family tradition for many years. The films, as well as the whole Chiller Theater 'experience', left an indelible impression upon the youngster. Academically, Mr. Evans is a graduate of Edinboro University of PA. (English, 1977); and of the University of Pittsburgh (Philosophy 1991). Mr. Evans was also an instructor for 5 years at the now defunct Academy of Court Reporting in downtown Pittsburgh, Pa. He specialized in the instruction of Short Story, Speech Communications, and Critical Thinking. Mr. Evans is also an accomplished public speaker. He has been awarded the status of Competent Toastmaster (CTM) and Advanced Toastmaster (ATM) by Toastmasters International. A Flash Fiction piece written in 2016 by Mr. Evans titled HELL, was featured in vol 4 on decasp.com. Future projects include a short story anthology, presently in the works, with a projected release in Summer 2020
