HALEY NEWLIN
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Haley Newlin grew up on the theatrical terror of William Castle's gimmicks and Vincent Price films — both of which have heavily influenced her work. She has published three novels, including Take Your Turn, Teddy, and her latest release, The Film You Are About To See which was featured on the 2025 Bram Stoker Reading List. She has written several short stories, including "The Butcher on Blue Jay Way," featured in Kandisha Press's SLASH-HER: An Anthology of Women in Horror, and a story in Nick Roberts’s forthcoming Haunted Minds: Tales of Possession anthology. Newlin holds an MFA in Creative Writing & English and is the managing editor for Cemetery Dance Magazine. When she's not writing, she's watching black-and-white horror films, hanging out at her local drive-in theatre, or reading. She lives in Indiana with her boyfriend and three dogs.
“In Not Another Sarah Halls I tried to be intentional in expressing what I have come to call the beauty of horror; the genre’s demand of self-reflection and unqiue ability to humble us in our own humanity. Horror makes readers ask what would my manifested fear look like? But most importantly, in inciting self-reflection, it helps readers determine not only what their fears are, but gives them the courage to look their fear in the face and say, ‘This is how I beat you.’"
