JG Faherty

J.G. Faherty is a celebrated American author, well-known for his work in the genres of young adult horror, science fiction, and fantasy. With a writing style that ranges from quiet, dark suspense to over-the-top comic gruesomeness, Faherty has written six novels, nine novellas, and more than 50 short stories. His works have earned him nominations for the Bram Stoker Award® and the ITW Thriller Award.

Faherty's interest in horror and the supernatural can be traced back to his childhood, where he spent much of his time playing in a 17th-century cemetery. This early exposure to the eerie and mysterious has undoubtedly influenced his writing, which often features elements of the supernatural and the unknown. In addition to his love for cemeteries, Faherty also enjoys urban exploring, photography, classic B-movies, good wine, and pumpkin beer.

Beyond his passion for the arts and exploration, Faherty has led a varied professional life, working in a range of industries including sales, laboratory management, and zoo keeping. His diverse background and experiences have provided him with a wealth of material to draw upon in his writing, and have helped him to develop a unique and engaging voice. Faherty's personal motto, "Photobombing people since 1979!", reflects his playful and lighthearted approach to life, even as he explores some of the darkest corners of the human experience in his writing.
