​Previously a film critic, journalist and teacher, Gemma Files has been an award-winning horror author since 1999.

​She's best-known for her novel Experimental Film (Open Road Media) and her collections of short fiction, including the Bram Stoker Award-winning In That Endlessness, Our End and Blood From the Air (both from Grimscribe).

She is the autistic mother of an autistic son. For fun she sings, and doodles pretty monsters."
