Ty Tracey is an author with a passion for horror, paranormal, alternative fiction, science fiction, and fantasy. He resides in Massachusetts with his beloved wife, tiny daughter, and rescue pitbull. When Ty isn’t writing he is likely landscaping his yard, playing with his dog, reading, hanging out with friends or spending quality time with his wife.

Ty's first novel, Three Days in Ashford, was awarded the 2019 IndieReader Discovery Award for best horror novel. It was also a finalist for a Next Generation IndieBook Award the same year. Ty's books walk the line between horror, science fiction, and paranormal. His eclectic blend of influences meld into an alternative style of writing that, according to reviews: "Blends the Wellsian and the Love Ty Tracey is an author with a passion for horror, paranormal, alternative fiction, science fiction, and fantasy.

Ty's first novel, Three Days in Ashford, was awarded the 2019 IndieReader Discovery Award for best horror novel. It was also a finalist for a Next Generation IndieBook Award the same year. Ty's books walk the line between horror, science fiction, and paranormal. His eclectic blend of influences meld into an alternative style of writing that, according to reviews: "Blends the Wellsian and the Lovecraftian into a unique and engaging web of action and terror."

His latest work, The Corroding (Now available for preorder in the Kindle Store), is the culmination of years of effort toward crafting something terrifying to summarize our civilization's current snapshot in time. Early reviews have described it as: "An intellectual horror story in the vein of sweeping, philosophical classics like Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Night of the Living Dead, It, The Mothman Prophecies, At the Mountains of Madness, The Stand, The Day the Earth Stood Still, Arrival, and The War of the Worlds."

Ty will tell you, despite the terrifying concepts he pours into his novels, he's really just a normal guy. He loves pitbulls and elephants and donates to various charities on their behalf. He loves his baby daughter and can't wait until she's MUCH OLDER and can read his books. He's been known to golf with friends but far more for the booze than the sport or competition. He plays softball in the Summer, can spend hours making funny noises at his daughter to see how hard he can make her laugh. He loves his wife and knows he'd have never published diddly squat without her love and support.

When asked once why Ty writes what he writes, he answered: "I think being scared is thrilling. I also think being scared based on a good premise is even more thrilling. I love writing those kinds of stories because they're the kind I could see myself wanting to read myself. I subscribe to a wide array of styles across the horror and science fiction genre, but the old-school, cosmic horror vibe really appeals to me the most. I want to thrill people with my stories through scares that come through cinematically, and sensical thought-provoking premises. I want my readers thinking about my stories long after they've read the last paragraph. I mainly never want my readers, for a moment, to feel like they spent their money on something that sucked." ...more

My friends. I will admit, The Corroding took a lot out of me to deliver. It was described, in the most flattering sense, as a doorstopper by the renowned reviewers at Kirkus Reviews. And is it ever. Was it an ambitious endeavor for an author’s second ever published novel at 614 print pages? Probably. Could I have put it on the backburner and instead, written a much shorter, less complex story that

Ty Tracey answered Goodreads's question: What mystery in your own life could be a plot for a book? There's a skunk that lives under the shed in the backyard. We call him Stinky Stanley. I've actually come face to face with him on a number of occasions along with our dog and there is never any sort of fear or feeling of confrontation. Stinky Stanle See Full Answer
