His fascination with horror began at a young age, perhaps too young, but that’s how Generation X rolled. By day, Chad works in cybersecurity, but when the candlelight flickers, he writes. His debut novel, The Midnight Tree, explores a supernatural mystery with a nine year old boy and the ghost of the young girl haunting his bedroom. His urban fantasy crime series ‘Providence Supernatural Crimes Unit’ follows a secret team of police who fight supernatural crime and dark magical forces in Providence Rhode Island. Additionally, his horror, crime, and weird fiction short stories have found homes in various anthologies, including Abandoned Altars, Circus of the Dead, Flash of the Dead: Requiem, Blink of an Eye, Masks of Sanity, Wreckollections, Apocalyptales, Dead Girls Walking, For the Dogs, and Wicked Abandoned, among others.
