Try Not to Die In a Dark Fairy Tale

Evan Baughfman works in a very scary place: a middle school! (He's a totally-not-evil teacher.) He lives in California with his wife, Ashley, his children, Mason and Story, and their probably-not-evil-at-all black cat, Friday. Evan has been reading and writing for fun since childhood. After disturbing his mom with a tale about killer opossums, Evan knew that he wanted to write a book of his own someday. Evan was so serious about becoming an author that he earned a Bachelor's degree in Creative Writing from University of Redlands.Evan writes all genres, but horror is where he is most comfortable. His short fiction has appeared in various anthologies, including books from No Bad Books Press, Critical Blast Publishing, Improbable Press, and Grinning Skull Press.Evan's first short story collection, The Emaciated Man and Other Terrifying Tales from Poe Middle School, is published through Thurston Howl Publications. D&T Publishing released Evan's novella, Vanishing of the 7th Grade, as well as his novel, Bad for Your Teeth.Much of Evan's writing success has also been as a playwright. He's had many different plays produced across the globe. Heuer Publishing has published Evan's script, "A Taste of Amontillado" (an adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe's "The Cask of Amontillado"), in addition to a few of his other scripts. Evan's work can also be found at YouthPLAYS, Next Stage Press, Drama Notebook, and New Play Exchange.
