Wayne Hopkins is an American horror and comedy writer who debuted on the literary scene with his month-by-month collection, FAR FROM PARADISE. His first novel quickly followed when his psychological horror piece AT THE DEAD OF NIGHT was released in 2023 by Farris Books. Born and brought up in flyover America, Wayne usually sticks with crafting his stories in the famously plain Midwest while dabbling in the South. Some of his biggest inspirations are Rod Serling, Robert Bloch, Stephen King, Cormac McCarthy, and Adam McKay.
