Poet, Fiction Writer

Author's Bio

J Snow pens psychological thrillers and tales of terror, sometimes poetry. Readers have described her writing as disturbing, visceral, haunting, evocative. She describes herself as a realist, a riddle, a bubble of chaos, a neurotic disaster, and — above all else — a survivor!

​​Pulling inspiration from real-world human monsters, Snow's writings offer a peek inside splintered psyches as she breathes life into harrowing yet multifaceted characters which have both horrified and fascinated those of conventional morality for generations.

Snow holds memberships with P&W, WPN, and NWU, and her most recently published works include: a debut book, Dear Meat, the seventh edition in the Emerge series by Godless; Shadow of Sanity in Dark Murmurs, an anthology by Silent House Press, sharing a byline with celebrated, bestselling authors such as Richard Chizmar (Stephen King's coauthor) and Philip Fracassi, among others;​​​​​​ Y is for Yuri in ABC’s of Terror: Volume 4 from D&T Publishing. She also holds various stories in best-selling anthologies by Hellbound Books and an award-winning Author's Tales collection, and others with Zombie Pirate Publishing, Horrified Press, The HorrorZine, Ample Remains​​​​​, et al.

Currently, J Snow is working on her debut novel, an expansion of Dear Meat, with an expected release date sometime between dawn and dementia.
