edit data

Haley Newlin grew up watching Vincent Price movies and hanging on to every grim tale Lemony Snicket spun, so it was no surprise when Newlin began writing her own dark fiction. In 2016, her gothic short story “The Tactics of a Cryptic Arbitrator” was a finalist in the Penmen Review Fall Fiction Contest. From there, Newlin earned her Master of Fine Arts in English and Creative Writing from Southern New Hampshire University and studied horror icons like Shirley Jackson, Stephen King, and the rising director and writer, Mike Flanagan.

She has published two novels: Not Another Sarah Halls and Take Your Turn, Teddy.

“[Horror] makes [readers] look their fear in the face, in whatever shape it has adopted, and say 'This is how i beat you.' It's about debunking what scares us and why.
That's what I love about horror.
It's so revealing.”

“The screams and the crows stopped. The woods fell silent. No wind, no rustling leaves, nothing. I clapped my hands in front of my face. Nothing. I brought my hand to my ear and snapped. Nothing. It was like the woods were me off one piece at a time--first my bravery, then my sanity, and now my senses.”
