Scott Cole

Cole expressed an interest in horror from a young age and has cited 80s slasher films as well as works such as Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead, and John Skipp and Craig Spector's Book of the Dead as influences. He also stated that his writing speed differs on what he is writing, as he can complete his first drafts quickly while short stories can take years to complete.^[1] He typically creates an outline or framework for his novellas while he does not typically use this for his short stories; the exception for his novellas was Crazytimes, where he based the story on a rough idea he had after waking one morning.^[2]

Cole also works as an artist and graphic designer and has created the covers and promotional materials for his works.^[3]
