BIOGRAPHY

Henry J. Wilkins writes fiction that moves through the shadows—literary noir driven by fractured memory, moral ambiguity, and the weight of silence. In The Tenth Cross, he delivers psychological noir at its most harrowing: a brutal meditation on faith, repression, and the lasting violence of belief systems. The book doesn't flinch. It stares hard, and keeps staring.

With Silt: The Two Cuts, Wilkins shifts tone while keeping the blade sharp. This quiet, eerie novella offers social commentary with a deadpan smirk, following two mirrored narratives about complicity, cowardice, and the emotional cost of doing nothing. It’s satire dressed in silt-stained denim—still noir, but with the tongue pressed lightly in cheek.

His forthcoming collection, Is There Some Way Out of Here, turns inward and upward, threading metaphysical unease through surreal landscapes and existential mazes. Across genres and styles, what binds Wilkins’ work is a relentless exploration of identity, guilt, and the impossible hope of escape. Whether deadly serious or grimly amused, his fiction lingers long after the page goes quiet.

- How do you handle moments when the writing feels “off” or the plot doesn’t seem to be working do you step back, rewrite, or push forward until it makes sense?

  - Step back and rewrite. Sometimes it's from 2:00 a.m. to some semi-awake time that the plots are mapped out. But the one from last night... nope, still can't get it to work...

    - I completely get that sometimes stepping back is the only way to really untangle a plot that just won’t cooperate. And those late-night brainstorming sessions? I’ve had more than a few of those myself. It’s funny how ideas can come when we’re half-asleep… though not all of them hold up in the morning! Out of curiosity, when you hit a wall like that, do you ever bounce ideas off someone else, or do you prefer to work through it on your own?

  - I try to read all the Reviews. When I receive a constructive review, I take the criticism on board and then try to incorporate it into future work. Good reviews are very pleasant to have and enjoyable, knowing I have done something right; however, bad ones, where the review is just destructive and offers nothing, will make me go away and sulk for about 10 minutes. Then get on with something constructive.

  - I often incorporate my own experience in my non-fiction works, where it can help illustrate a point. In my fictional works, I frequently incorporate anecdotal references and personal experiences into the writing. Obviously, I cannot write an actual experience of murder, but my works tend to revolve around the psychology, not the actual. I do not want gratuitous gore fests in my books.

  - To me, that would be a brazen reward for ex-politicians to receive massive book deals. This just smacks of money laundering.
