Author of Horror | Sci-Fi | Fantasy

R.E. Holding

I grew up in the Midwest in the 80s and 90s, often finding myself on the dirty low-pile carpets of Waldenbooks reading  the newest Christopher Pike. I'm an avid lover of stories of all kinds, with a particular penchant for the things that go bump in the night. A scientist by day, I write horror, sci-fi, and fantasy at unacceptable hours.

"Horror characters are meant to be stupid. If they weren't, the story wouldn't be horror - it would be action adventure."
