edit data

Kent Priore is the debut author of "The Monsters Among Us." He writes dark literature where romanticism meets modern psychology for a macabre but hopeful depiction of inner struggle, and the human ability to endure. He is a fierce advocate for mental health awareness and for greater acceptance of neurodivergence.

He graduated with honors from Bard College with a BA in the Written Arts, and is a proud marginalized voice in the neurodivergent community. ...more
