S.A. Bradley hosts the 5-time Rondo Award-nominated podcast, “Hellbent for Horror,” which explores all things horror across books, film, comics, and music. Director Guillermo Del Toro described the podcast as “well-researched, articulate, and entirely absorbing.” Bradley is the author of the Rondo-nominated book Screaming for Pleasure: How Horror Makes You Happy and Healthy. He is currently working on a follow-up book. Bradley’s short stories are published in the anthologies Shattered and Splintered, Shadows in the Stacks, and A Night of Misfit Stories. He is also working on his own collection of short horror stories.
Bradley contributes articles in Medium Chill, EvilSpeak, Horrorhound magazines, and multiple online outlets. He’s lectured at Webster University, the University of the Pacific, and The College of Idaho and performed his live show, “My Horror Manifesto,” in NYC and at various horror conventions across the USA. Bradley’s convention guest appearances as a panelist/moderator/lecturer include San Francisco Fan-X, StokerCon, Salt Lake Fan-X, Mile-Hi Con, Confluence, TusCon, BayCon, Imaginarium, and others.
