C.J. Weiss

I'm an author from Austin, TX, and live there with my wife and our two cats. I try my best to balance a love for the outdoors with surviving a summer heat that lasts 7 months/year.

Horror, supernatural, fantasy, and sci-fi are my biggest influences. House of Leaves is my go-to recommendation. I primarily write supernatural fiction with heavy horror/suspense undertones. I'm a big believer that deep worldbuilding is an untapped well in the genre. It's something I'm excited to explore with my readers as I delve into fleshing out the Virulent Nightmare Origins series.

I love hiking, board/video games, traveling, and obviously reading. Also a big, big fan of peanut butter. Only the natural stuff - oil separation is normal!
