About the Author

Armando Muñoz’s debut novel, Hoarder, was hailed by Fangoria magazine as “dynamite – a sickening, imaginative shocker.” His second novel, Turkey Day, marked his foray into the holiday horror subgenre and earned praise from master storyteller Clive Barker, who declared himself “a new fan” of Armando’s work. He released the sequel, Turkey Kitchen, in 2021, and is currently compiling his first collection of gothic fiction for an anthology. Muñoz’s epic movie tie-in novelizations include My Bloody Valentine (dubbed “a gold mine” by Fangoria), Silent Night, Deadly Night (Rue Morgue called it “deliriously inventive”), Happy Birthday To Me (described as “gleefully gruesome” by Bloody Disgusting), and Basket Case (which Fangoria warned their readers was Armando’s “most deranged offering yet,” and that the novel’s “insanity” was something they were “not prepared” for).
