PAST THEMES . . .
ABOUT
Hey, I'm J. Federle
I'm writing hopeful horror, romantic sci-fi, and monsters that are (sometimes) gentle.
I grew up in Kentucky in a big, brick house in front of the woods. Catholic school left me with a love of the macabre, an empathy for monsters, and not much else. (This probably wasn’t the intended effect.) My favorite Star Trek episodes are the scary ones.
I've been pub'd in The Saturday Evening Post, which my dad recognized, and in The Threepenny Review, Strange Horizons, The NoSleep Podcast, and several other places my dad “has never heard of” but was proud about anyway. I'm rep'd by Ginger Clark of Ginger Clark Literary.
