Growing up loving horror and mystery tales, JC Bratton's short stories pay homage to the Point Horror novels she would read as a kid: stories such as Slumber Party by Christopher Pike and Twisted by RL Stine. Some of her biggest influences are Alfred Hitchcock, Lois Duncan, Stephen King, and Richard Matheson.

In 2021, she plans to camp out in front of Netflix’s Silicon Valley headquarters until she can land a movie deal — then, she’ll go back to writing a new set of macabre tales that will keep you up at night.

JC still has her day job and lives in the heart of Silicon Valley: San Jose, California.
