Vaughn A. Jackson is an author, editor, and sometimes poet of dark speculative fiction. His work generally falls into one of categories: Creatures, Kaiju, or Cosmic Horror. This often blends elements of fantasy, science fiction, and horror into one unholy abomination.He is the author of both Up from the Deep, Touched by Shadows, and Deepspore: Death Below the Sea.

Vaughn is an Affiliate HWA member who lives near Baltimore with his girlfriend and two gremlins disguised as the world's cutest kittens. His dog Constantine has also demanded acknowledgment in his bio. Sometimes he wonders why everything he writes ends up scary, but doesn't believe in questioning things that work.

It's So Close You Can Touch the Shadows!

Picture Oh dear god, it has been forever hasn't it? Over a year since I've been on here. But I come bringing fantastic news!

Touched by Shadows is coming out in 11 days! December 10th. Mark your calendars, because that's literally right around the corner, and I am incredibly excited. I'm a little bummed that I didn't get to do a cool build up to a fancy cover reveal, but here it is in all of it's glory. T Read more of this blog post »
