05 / The author

Donna Burgess.

Horror author · South Carolina

A soft spot for the strange.
A darker one for the familiar.

Donna Burgess writes horror and dark fiction about haunted places, fractured memories, and the terrible things hiding inside ordinary lives. Her books move from the end of the world to the shadows of the American South.

She is the author of Black Celebration, Solstice, and Old Moses, and the voice behind The Midnight Aisle—a home for horror, nostalgia, and whatever’s lurking on the next shelf.
