T.L. Griffith writes spooky stories for brave kids, and secretly hopes every attic hides a cursed mirror and every old house has at least one painting that blinks.

She grew up on a steady diet of Goosebumps, flashlight-under-the-blanket nights, and the kind of creepy books you read even though you're not supposed to. Now she writes stories that make you shiver, smile, and check the closet one more time, just in case.

Her Scaremoor series of middle grade horror novels for readers ages 8 to 12 includes The Haunted Locker, The Night of the Living Vines, The Phantom Playground, The Changing Portrait, The Vanishing Words, and The Mask Room. Zombie Puppies is the first book in Scaremoor Scribbles, a spin-off series for ages 8 to 10.

She lives with her family, a growing hoard of horror paperbacks, and probably a ghost dog. When she's not writing, she's lifting heavy things, drinking coffee on her porch like a cryptid in training, or plotting how to turn Scaremoor into an entire universe of middle grade horror. She visits schools and libraries, virtually or in person locally.
