Brandon Ford - Horror/Suspense Author

Go now and don't look back.... My life's come off its tracks and you should be... free of me....

About Me

Brandon Ford made his debut with the publication of “Elmer’s Grue”. The short story was included in ABACULUS 2007, an anthology released by Leucrota Press featuring the year’s best in science fiction, fantasy, and horror. Soon after, his first horror/suspense novel, CRYSTAL BAY, was released by Arctic Wolf Publishing and has received praise from such genre favorites as filmmaker Ryan Nicholson and horror author Garry Charles. In August of 2008, he contributed the short story, “Severed”, to SINISTER LANDSCAPES, an anthology of gothic fiction. He has also contributed to TWISTED DREAMS, an independent literary magazine founded by bestselling author, Andrea Dean Van Scoyoc.
His second novel, SPLATTERED BEAUTY, is scheduled to be released by Arctic Wolf in early 2009. He currently resides in Philadelphia.
