edit data

C. J. Daley lives in New York. He is the author of Welcome to Cemetery, his full-length crime thriller debut, as well as a full accompanying short story collection, Tales From Cemetery. BestGhost was his first sampler on the road to release. He enjoys smaller pieces that give hints to his created worlds at large, and he loves blending genres with dark descriptors. He hopes this won’t be the last you hear from him, and if you enjoyed, please consider leaving a review on Amazon, BookBub, Goodreads, StoryGraph, Literal Book Club—or share with a friend.
