The Shadows Behind

Kristi Petersen Schoonover has recently made peace with her most frightening shadows, although she still sleeps with the lights on. She is the author of the collection Skeletons in the Swimmin' Hole: Tales from Haunted Disney World, the novel Bad Apple, the novelette This Poisoned Ground, and the novella "Splendid Chyna," which appears in The Terror Project's Three on a Match. She curated the Ink Stains anthology Volume 7, served as co-editor for Read Short Fiction, and was the recipient of three Norman Mailer Writers Colony winter residencies. She studied under Daniel Pearlman at the University of Rhode Island and holds an MFA in Creative Writing from Goddard College. She serves as co-host of the Dark Discussions podcast, and lives in the Connecticut woods with her housemate, Charles, her husband, Nathan, and two cats.
