Eric Barnes (writer)

The novel The City Where We Once Lived has led to Barnes' work being cited as contributing to the national conversation on climate change.

Barnes is the publisher and CEO of The Daily Memphian, an online news site in Memphis started in September 2018.

Booklist said of the novel, “Barnes’ spare and chilling prose flows from one horrific scene to another without, surprisingly, alienating his readers, perhaps because the heart of his narrative ultimately reveals an abiding faith in the power of human compassion.

Benjamin Whitmer wrote of the book, "Elegantly constructed and lovingly, tenderly, savagely written... the most harrowing portrait of American boys careening into manhood that I've ever read.

"[This quote needs a citation] Barnes has written the novel Shimmer (Unbridled Books, July 2009, ISBN 1-932961-67-4).

The fictional company, Core Communications, is a provider of high end networking services to mainframe computers.
