Charles W Jones

Charles W. Jones believes that to write about fear, you must understand it intimately. Growing up in the vast, dark landscapes of Shoshoni, Wyoming, he developed a persistent fear of the dark that, ironically, has become his greatest asset as a horror writer. He is a connoisseur of the genre, with a particular taste for the visceral thrill of slasher films and the beautifully terrifying worlds crafted by his idol, Clive Barker.

His journey as an author is as unconventional as his inspirations. An openly gay writer, Charles W. Jones's experiences of feeling different in a small town have profoundly shaped his storytelling, adding a layer of authentic human struggle to his fantastical horrors. With a background that includes an art degree and a stint as a cosmetologist, he brings a unique, multifaceted perspective to his work. His first novel was a form of therapy, a secret he kept until it was published. Now, the stories explode from him, each one a testament to the power of finding your voice in the most unexpected ways.
