Elias Blackford

Elias Blackford writes slow-burn horror steeped in folklore, isolation, and the uneasy loyalty between friends.

Bio

Blackford grew up in a logging town where ghost stories traveled faster than news. His work favors atmosphere over jump scares, with creeping dread built from local superstition and fraying relationships. He researches regional myths obsessively and hikes abandoned rail lines to capture landscapes that haunt his pages.

Current focus: a novel about a volunteer search party trapped by a forest that rearranges itself each night.
