Pam Bachorz

Pam Bachorz (born 1973) is an author of speculative fiction from the United States.

Biography Bachorz was born in 1973 in Salem, Massachusetts.

Works She has written two speculative fiction novels for young adults: Candor, published in 2009, and Drought, published in 2011.

Candor, set in the near future, uses a trope common to horror in speculative fiction, that of a small town "malevolently under some kind of mesmeric or unholy control". Publishers Weekly described it as a compelling story while saying some aspects of the premise were "difficult to swallow".

Bachorz's second novel, Drought, is also set in a small and coercive community, which the protagonist seeks to escape. Cybils Award for Young Adult Speculative Fiction Finalist
