Jeremy C. Shipp

Jeremy C. Shipp is a Bram Stoker Award and Shirley Jackson Award-nominated author known for their distinctive contributions to contemporary horror literature. Their published works include the novels "The Atrocities," "Bedfellow," and "Cursed," which showcase their penchant for unsettling narratives and psychological depth. Shipp's short fiction has appeared in more than 60 publications, including prominent magazines such as "Cemetery Dance," "Dark Moon Digest," and "Apex Magazine."
