Vaughn A. Jackson is an Horror Writers Association affiliated author, editor, and sometimes poet of dark speculative fiction. His work generally focuses one one of three categories: Creatures, Kaiju, or Cosmic Horror. Often blending elements of fantasy, science fiction, and horror, he refers to his works as unholy abominations of terror. His published novels include the Kaiju thrillers Up from the Deep and Deepspore: Death Below the Sea, the cosmic horror Touched by Shadows, and the vampire hunter revenge novel Southern Cross. He is also the co-editor of the diverse cosmic horror anthology Beyond the Bounds of Infinity. When not writing, he can usually be found hanging with his wife and pets, cracking jokes, and making sure H.P. Lovecraft turns over in his grave.
