Marianne Halbert

Marianne Halbert spends too much time pondering the things that go bump in the night. She grew up in the heartland devouring mysteries, sci-fi, and horror, and loves to read and write anything eerie, downright creepy, surprising or moving. Her work has been described as literary horror and quiet horror. While she rarely writes gore, she thrills on creating tension, a sense of dread, and shades-of-gray imperfect characters who break your heart and make you think of them long after the pages have closed. Her stories have appeared in numerous anthologies and magazines on the cutting edge of dark speculative fiction.
