Tom Deady

Thomas Deady is an accomplished American author, particularly in the horror genre. He grew up near the historic town of Salem, Massachusetts, which may have influenced his interest in the horror genre.

He holds a Master's degree in English and Creative Writing from Southern New Hampshire University, which has helped him hone his writing skills.

Deady is a member of the Horror Writers Association and the New England Horror Writers, which are prestigious organizations for horror writers. His debut novel, "Haven," was published in 2017 and received critical acclaim, winning the "Superior Achievement in a First Novel" Bram Stoker Award. Since then, he has published several other novels, including "Eternal Darkness," "Backwater," and "Weekend Getaway." He has also contributed short fiction to the anthology "When the Clock Strikes 13." Recently, Deady has expanded his repertoire to include a YA horror novel.

When he is not writing, Deady enjoys blogging about the Boston Red Sox, running marathons, watching various genres of movies, and staying active in the writing community. He has a strong online presence, interacting with his readers and fellow writers through social media. Deady is a dedicated and passionate writer who continues to work on his next novel, delighting horror fans with his unique storytelling and chilling narratives.
