Jeff Strand

Jeff Strand is an acclaimed American horror novelist, known for his unique blend of horror and comedy in his works. Strand was born in Baltimore, Maryland, but spent most of his formative years in Fairbanks, Alaska, where he developed a love for cartooning and video games. As he grew older, his interests expanded to include writing movies, a passion that would eventually lead him to become a successful author.

Strand is perhaps best known for his award-winning horror novels, including the Andrew Mayhem Thriller series. He has won the Bram Stoker Award four times, a testament to his mastery of the horror genre. In addition to his horror novels, Strand has also written young adult novels that are characterized by their goofy comedy. Several of his books are in development as motion pictures, although he is not allowed to reveal many details about these projects.

Despite his success in the horror genre, Strand's works are not limited to horror alone. He writes in a variety of genres, including drama, thriller, comedy, and even fairy tales. His writing style is characterized by its humor, which is often infused into even the most terrifying of scenes. Strand is currently based in Tampa, Florida, where he continues to write and publish his unique and entertaining novels.
