Evan Baughfman

Evan Baughfman works in a very scary place: a middle school! (He’s a teacher.) He writes all genres, but horror is where he’s most comfortable. His horror fiction has been published in numerous anthologies, including titles from Graveside Press, Inkd Publishing, and No Bad Books Press. Evan has penned a collection of 13 short scary stories titled THE EMACIATED MAN AND OTHER TERRIFYING TALES FROM POE MIDDLE SCHOOL, published by Thurston Howl Publications. His spooky novella, VANISHING OF THE 7TH GRADE, is now available from D&T Publishing. D&T has also published Evan's first full-length novel, BAD FOR YOUR TEETH. Evan is also the co-author of the choose-your-own-adventure-style horror/fantasy novella, TRY NOT TO DIE IN A DARK FAIRY TALE, alongside Mark Tullius. Evan's collection of animal-attack fiction, MAULS OF THE WILD, is published by GenreBlast Books.

Evan has also adapted a number of his short prose works into screenplays, of which "The Tell-Tale Art," “A Perfect Circle,” and “The Creaky Door” have won awards in various film festival competitions.

Additionally, much of Evan's writing success has been as a playwright. He’s had many different plays produced across the globe. Evan is a playwriting member of PlayGround-L.A., as well as a company member with Force of Nature Productions. His children's play, “R.O.M.3.O. and Julia” (Romeo and Juliet with robots) has been published in PLAYS Magazine. His play for young adults, “Lipstick and Heroics,” is available through YouthPLAYS, as is Evan's all-ages script, "Sprout Wants Out." In addition, his middle grade play, "Percy Pangolin Wants to Go Viral," is published by Heuer Publishing. Heuer has also published Evan's plays, "Bookworm's Dilemma," "The Not-So-Haunted Auditorium," "A Taste of Amontillado" (an adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe's "The Cask of Amontillado") and his script, "Untragically Ever After." Next Stage Press has published Evan's horror-plays-for teens, "Fear Pressure" and "The Dodo Challenge," as well as his one-act satire of American public education, "F is For."

Online theater education resource, Drama Notebook, has added many of Evan’s children’s plays to its catalog. His plays can also be found at New Play Exchange.
