Nicole M. Wolverton
Nicole M. Wolverton is a fear enthusiast who grew up in the rural hinterlands of northeast Pennsylvania, wondering what lurked in the cornfields outside her bedroom window. Her curiosity about what terrible things might lay in wait in the dark only deepened after moving to Philadelphia for college. Today, Nicole is a Pushcart-nominated writer of (mostly) horror and thrillers for adults and young adults. She is the author of A MISFORTUNE OF LAKE MONSTERS, a young adult speculative novel that was published in July 2024 (CamCat Books), and THE TRAJECTORY OF DREAMS, a 2013 adult psychological thriller (Bitingduck Press). She was Editor of the 2021 anthology of short fiction BODIES FULL OF BURNING (Sliced Up Press), exploring horror through the lens of menopause—the first of its kind. Her short fiction, creative nonfiction, and essays have appeared in over forty anthologies, magazines, and podcasts. She still wonders what creeps in the dark.

Nicole is a university magazine editor and speech writer who lives in Delaware County, PA with a long history of nonprofit fundraising. She holds a B.A., English from Temple University and a masters degree in horror and storytelling from the University of Pennsylvania.
