Andrea Dean Van Scoyoc

Retired author, Andrea Dean Van Scoyoc has hung up her pen, but has lost none of her drive, when it comes to the chilling and macabre. In her day, she was hailed as one of the most unique and twisted female Horror authors of the generation, and blazed her own, independent path through a genre most often dominated by men. Her work appeared in everything from magazines (online and in print) to websites and she made many television and radio appearances. Writing in the Horror Sinisteria genre (which she was repeatedly mistakenly credited with originating) Andrea, in her latter years before retirement, turned to other works, including her mainstream pirate series The Grounds of Nachmasheeghan, her books for children, the Occult and even some paranormal/dark/Occult Non-Fiction. She was also well-known (and often despised for,) her depraved and sadistic, Erotica. Andrea boasted ownership of two of the most popular underground magazines, Twisted Dreams and Worlds Within Worlds Beyond, in circulation in their day. Andrea has now turned her skills for the strange, unusual and avant garde, to silent, black and white film making. She is also the proud hostess of The Dark Apostle's Bewitching Hour. Her works can be seen on YouTube.
