Gordon Dahlquist is an American playwright, theater director, novelist and experimental filmmaker. A native of the Pacific Northwest, Dahlquist has lived and worked in New York City since 1988. His plays, which include Mesilina and Delirium Palace (both Garland Playwriting Award winners), have been performed in New York and Los Angeles. His experimental short films have been accepted at multiple festivals.

Dahlquist's debut novel The Glass Books of the Dream Eaters, a hybrid of fantasy and science fiction set in a period similar to the Victorian era, was published on August 1, 2006, to notable critical acclaim. Dahlquist was reportedly paid an advance of $2,000,000 for The Glass Books of the Dream Eaters, the first of a two-book deal. Its sales were disappointing and it is estimated to have lost its publisher, Bantam, approximately $851,500. The sequel to The Glass Books of the Dream Eaters , 'The Dark Volume', was published in the UK by Penguin on May 1, 2008, and March 24, 2009 in the United States.
