J.P. Graves

J.P. Graves grew up in Ohio with a taste for the strange and unsettling, sneaking horror paperbacks into his backpack, watching late-night thrillers, and spending hours inside atmospheric games like Doom 3, F.E.A.R., and Condemned. Inspired by writers such as Stephen King, Dean Koontz, and Anthony Horowitz, he developed an early love for stories that unnerve, twist, and linger.

He has served in the United States Army for thirteen years, living and working across Germany, Korea, the Middle East, Texas, Georgia, and South Carolina. His unusual military career has exposed him to both the best and worst of humanity, experiences that lend his writing a distinctive tension and realism shaped by years of studying hidden patterns, deception, and human behavior.

Away from the Army and his writing desk, Graves values time with his wife, whom he married in 2014, and their dog, Luna. Together they have lived in Texas, Germany, Georgia, South Korea, and South Carolina, and their travels have taken them across the United States as well as to Malta, Majorca in Spain, France, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Italy, South Korea, and Japan. These experiences continue to shape his outlook and inspire the worlds he creates.

Though his stories explore monsters, madness, and the darker corners of the human mind, Graves is often the most relaxed and easygoing person in the room. Above all, his goal as a storyteller is simple: to keep readers on edge, to make them think twice about the shadows, and to leave an impression long after the final page.
