Bradley Jackson is a Midwestern horror writer born in 1984 in Dayton, Ohio. He studied biology at Ohio University and worked nights as a hospital unit clerk before earning an MFA from the University of North Carolina Wilmington. A former EMT and volunteer crisis-line counselor, he draws on medical settings and rust-belt folklore to craft claustrophobic, slow-burn tales. His short fiction has appeared in small-press magazines, and his novella Cold Storage won the 2019 Rust Lantern Prize. He lives in Grand Rapids, Michigan, where he teaches community writing workshops and hikes the dunes with a stubborn rescue beagle.
