Clare Castleberry

Clare Castleberry grew up in the swamps of Louisiana and lived behind a family-owned neighborhood bar, which fueled her imagination for southern gothic stories, often with erotic, horrific, or crime-laden themes. She has been published in The Big Book of Bizarro, Year's Best Hardcore Horror, and with Zombiegasm Publications. Forbidden Gardens, the follow-up novel to Azalea House, is set to release November 7th soon from Winding Road Stories.
