Thomas M. Malafarina is an author of horror fiction from Berks County, Pennsylvania.

To date, he has published eight horror novels, ten collections of horror short stories, and a book of often-strange single panel cartoons called Yes, I Smelled It Too!

In addition, many of Thomas’ stories have appeared in anthologies and e-magazines. Some have been produced and presented for internet podcasts and radio plays, as well. Thomas has shared anthology pages with some of the biggest names in horror fiction, such as Jack Ketchum, Joe Lansdale, Jonathan Maberry and Luck McKee, to name a few.

Thomas is best known for the twists and surprises in his stories, as well as his descriptive, often gory passages. Thomas is also an artist, musician, singer and songwriter.
