Jake Bannerman

Jake Bannerman is a dark-fiction author whose work spans YA horror, psychological terror, faith-deconstruction, and trauma-driven storytelling. A two-time suicide survivor, Bannerman writes for one reason: to keep young people from facing their darkness alone.

His catalog ranges from Scary Books for Scary Kids™ — the bestselling 72-Hour Curse series, Mascara Coven, Follow the Hollow, Chaos Goblins, and the Sick Cities universe — to the brutal adult worlds of The Harvest Trilogy, Stillborn Divine, Sin Deep, The Fee, and WitchAxe.

Across every age range, his mission remains the same:

“I write the darkness so kids don’t face theirs alone.”

Bannerman lives in Oklahoma and publishes under the Ash & Ink / Horror Ink imprint network.
