Delia Nightshade (b. 1984) is a Latina horror author and former emergency dispatcher raised in Laredo, Texas. After earning an MFA from the University of New Hampshire, she migrated up the coast, working night shifts in a seaside library and later at a candle factory in Ipswich, experiences that shaped her fascination with industrial folklore and maritime hauntings. Her short fiction has appeared in Nightmare, Pseudopod, and small-press anthologies. She lives in Salem, Massachusetts, where she restores antique lanterns and volunteers with a community EMT training program.
