Bruce Thornfield is an American writer of literary horror and rural gothic. Born in 1982 in Bloomington, Indiana, he studied folklore and archival science at Indiana University and later worked nights in a seed corn warehouse and days in a small-town historical society. His short fiction has appeared in regional journals and zines, and he has taught workshops on narrative and material culture at community colleges across the Midwest. Thornfield lives in Providence, Rhode Island, where he splits his time between writing, volunteering at a historical cemetery, and restoring a balky reel-to-reel recorder.
