Dennis Joslyn writes the kind of horror that doesn’t leap at you—it creeps in slowly, settles under your skin, and makes itself at home.
His debut novel, What Reads Us, is a psychological horror about guilt, grief, and a cursed book that might be reading you back. The story continues in What Guides Us, the chilling second installment in The Black Book Series, where haunted history and fractured memory collide.
Based in New York, Dennis lives under the watchful eyes of two small pugs, who serve as both muses and editorial tyrants. When he’s not writing, he can usually be found over-researching dark history for future stories, drinking too much coffee, and wondering whether anyone else hears the whispers behind the bookshelf.
I grew up in a family with five boys, which taught me a great deal about patience and persistence. My parents were incredibly supportive of creativity, and thanks to their influence, my brothers and I pursued various forms of art.
I am married to a wonderful and supportive wife, and I have three daughters who will someday rule the world.
Though I earned a Bachelor of Arts in English, I gained more knowledge from David Farland/Wolverton and Priscilla Van Der Weele-Smith.
