Daniel Braum writes short stories that explore the tension between the supernatural and the psychological. He intentionally adopts the term “strange tales” for his “Twilight Zone-like” stories in homage to author Robert Aickman and the intentional ambiguities in his work. His most recent books are the illustrated short story collections Creatures of Liminal Space (Jackanapes Press) and Phantom Constellations: Strange Tales and Ghost Stories (Cemetery Dance). His stories also appear in Lady Churchill’s Rosebud Wristlet, Shivers 8, and the Best Horror of the Year Volume 12. Braum is also the host of the Night Time Logic Series which has entered its tenth year of interviews and spotlighting dark fiction.
