A.C. is a Michigan native, an educational audiologist by day, and a horror writer by night. She holds a clinical doctorate degree in Audiology.

 

A.C. grew up as the granddaughter of a librarian, daughter of a journalist, and always wanted to be a writer.  She loved watching horror movies with her father, and she spent most of her childhood running around barefoot outside, reading, believing in magic, and living in imaginary worlds inside her head. 

​

A.C. Hessenauer describes herself as an author of folk horror thrillers with gothic romance vibes, and a little spice thrown in for good measure. A.C. is an active member of the Horror Writers Association. 

​

When she’s not exploring the darkest corners of her imagination, A.C. enjoys spending time with her family; her husband, two sons, and border collie named Maximus. She loves a good horror movie, and of course, indulging in a good book.
