Nick Hertzberg

is a horror writer of short stories and screenplays that twist your guts as much as your mind.
His graphically violent, self-referential prose often skewers media, technology, and political rot, reinvents the tropes it loves, and still makes room for the occasional creature in the night.
His works are currently available from Death By TBR Books, Flitter Mouse Press, Godless, and The Submission Pit.HOVER on each book cover below for more information or CLICK on it to buy / read!
