Rotting Upright

R.C. Mulhare was born in Lowell, Massachusetts and grew up in one of the surrounding towns, in a hundred year old house up the street from an old cemetery. Her interest in the dark and mysterious started when she was quite young, when her mother read the faery tales of the Brothers Grimm and quoted the poetry of Edgar Allan Poe to her, while her Irish storyteller father infused her with a fondness for strange characters and quirky situations. When she isn't writing, she moonlights in grocery retail. She's also fond of hiking in the woods of the White Mountains of New Hampshire, and browsing the antiques shops one finds all over New England. A two-time best-selling author, contributor to the Hugo nominated Archive of Our Own, and member of the New England Horror Writers, her work has also appeared with Atlantean Press, Macabre Maine, FunDead. Nocturnal Sirens, Deadman's Tome, NEHW Press, iron Faerie, and Weirdbook Magazine, with more stories releasing almost every month. She shares her home with her family, a baby budgie who thinks her hat is a nest, about fifteen hundred books and an unknown number of eldritch things that rattle in the walls when she's writing late in the night....
