edit data

Benjamin Thomas writes from New England where he unequally balances time between running, video games, and quoting seemingly random movies.

His short fiction has been featured in publications such as: Flash Fiction Online, The Lascaux Review, Anti-Heroin Chic, and others. His novel Jack Be Quick (Owl Hollow Press, 2017) follows a troubled paramedic as he unwittingly tangles with a killer infatuated by Jack the Ripper.

Benjamin holds an MFA in writing from Albertus Magnus College.
