Jason S. Hornsby is the author of DESERT BLEEDS RED, ELEVEN TWENTY-THREE, and EVERY SIGH, THE END, as well as several short stories and articles for time travel and horror anthologies. His work has been highly lauded for its originality, international settings, roots in current events, dark humor, themes of paranoia, and extreme horror. His latest novel, DESERT BLEEDS RED, has proven a major critical success. New York Times best-selling author Peter Clines described it as "...a masterpiece. It isn't limited by genre or style or any of those other ways people try to contain a book. It's just a masterpiece." Craig DiLouie, author of SUFFER THE CHILDREN and THE CHILDREN OF RED PEAK, said that Hornsby's "prose runs deep and his imagination and sheer talent soar in this very dark and epic fantasy." Originally from Lakeland, Florida, Hornsby is an honors graduate of University of South Florida, with degrees in Literature and American Studies. His first major release, EVERY SIGH, THE END, was written in his first year following graduation. Hornsby also has a Master's degree in professional writing from the University of Southern New Hampshire. The author moved from his hometown to Beijing in 2008, where he remained for nearly four years. After the release of ELEVEN TWENTY-THREE in 2010, Hornsby traveled to some of the most remote areas of China in preparing to write the epic DESERT BLEEDS RED. He was present during the 2009 Urumqi riots, as well as political insurrections in Sichuan and Inner Mongolia. Hornsby was witness and even party to stabbings, brawls, and routine sidewalk bloodshed, and spent a month recuperating from back surgery in a Beijing hospital. He has been a regular in the expat trouble scene, throwing up in the alley behind all the worst dive bars and hidden hutong hangouts. He has traveled and dodged trouble in over fourteen provinces in China thus far, as well as backpacked, hitchhiked, and philandered his way through every country in Southeast Asia. When not teaching English literature or traversing the globe, he also contributes to several travel and expat lifestyle magazines in Southeast Asia and China. Since summer of 2022, Hornsby and his family have lived in Bangkok. Before that, there were stints in Kuala Lumpur, Beijing, Ningbo, and Chengdu. Hornsby has no current plans for a permanent return to America, but is very close to releasing his long-awaited fourth novel, tentatively titled GHOST SICKNESS, as well as several soon-to-be-anthologized short stories.
