craig i love the nightmare on elm street but growing up i watched the whole childs play series that i watched growing up but what sparked my love was the fear of clowns and watching the original IT movie scared the bejesus out of me
My name's Violeta and I live in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I love horror (books, films, also music), but nowadays I rarely get scared by horror stories, I can watch any horror movie no matter how stupid it is because I know that at least I'll have fun. I'm much pickier when I have to choose another kind of story.
I have too many favourites- I specially like gothic horror, folk stories and stories that focus on the uncanny.
Hi I’m Kara… I’m from the island of O’ahu. I am a mother of three. I have a daycare business and homeschool my 9 year old son. My favorite thing in the whole wide world I’d books!

Hi Kate and welcome!
Howdy folks! Ron Kelly here, hailing from Brush Creek, Tennessee. I'm a devoted husband, father of three, man of faith, and have been writing horror, on and off, for forty years now. Over the years I've had novels and short story collections published by Zebra Books, Pinnacle Books, Berkley Publishing, Cemetery Dance, Thunderstorm Books, Crossroad Press, and Sinister Grin. I'm a life-long aficionado of horror literature and film, and have a soft spot for Marvel and DC comics.
I'm glad to be a part of Horror Aficionados! Many Happy Nightmares, y'all!

i'm in the top pointy part. top right.
Hello! I'm glad to be a part of such a cool group of writers! My name is K. Banning Kellum, I'm a horror author. I was born and raised in New Orleans LA. My latest publication is an anthology of horror stories that I've been writing since around 2014. I've been a fan of horror since I was a child, and as I grew I explored many different avenues in that genre. I've been in documentaries exploring the paranormal and worked with various professionals in that community.
I served in the US Army for seven years, from 2007 until 2014. During that time I found my true calling - storytelling. I became the go-to guy for a good scary story when we were out in the field or deployed and boredom was seeping in. I've always enjoyed telling scary stories, but I was truly humbled that people were wanting more.
That motivated me to start writing. In 2014 I began to share short stories and novelettes on a few online horror platforms, and was once again amazed and humbled that people enjoyed them. Part of me was always sure that it was the boredom of my peers while waiting around in the military that made my stories interesting, since there was nothing better to do. But seeing that people were choosing to read my content out of interest alone inspired me to take the leap.
After the Army I moved back to New Orleans with my wife Neomi and my son Tristan, where I've been since. My current focus in literature is to continue to promote my current book while working to find a publisher for my novel that is written but still unpublished. I am a content judge for Sweek Stories, an international publishing house that features online content as well as self-publishing support. I am also partnered with Gabrielle Schaefer over on Medium, assisting her with developing CritiqueMe, a still in-the-works project that is aimed at giving authors a platform for beta-reads and feedback while providing actionable and suggestions.
But the thing I really want to know is....Do you have any stories written about Bigfoot? Possibly in his cross dressing days where he use to cross dress as a bear?And welcome.
