edit data

Dan Shrader is a horror author from French Lick, Indiana. He's the author of Cabin Black, Craven's Freaks, Full Nasty, The Worm Tongue Gospels, and numerous other works of transgressive fiction. Blending psychological terror, splatterpunk, and extreme horror, his stories explore obsession, grief, madness, and addiction. His interconnected Towers Valley universe continues to expand across novels and collections, earning him a growing readership and multiple horror award nominations.

When he isn't writing his next nightmare, he's probably hunting down forgotten VHS horror films or adding another bizarre title to his ever-growing collection.
