J.C. Hemstreet grew up with a flashlight to their chin, telling scary stories in the dark of a hallway closet or a backyard tent to anyone who would listen. Their fascination with the macabre and cryptid only deepened with age, as authors like the Brontë sisters and Daphne Du Maurier steered them toward the haunting, dark side of romance. Now, Hemstreet is on a mission to bring horror to the hopeless romantics by crafting stories that bridge the gap between spooky and swoony. Hemstreet lives in San Francisco with their husband and rescue mutt, where they work as a transactional attorney when not emersed in fantastical, monster-filled worlds.
