About the author
Growing up, Dreagen was captivated by dinosaurs and monsters, drawn to their awe-inspiring presence and the metaphors they often embodied—reflections of humanity's ancient fears and fascination with the macabre. As a young boy, he discovered the worlds of horror and dark fantasy through books and films, sparking a lifelong passion for these genres. Dreagen became fascinated with the language of fear and its role in the timeless art of storytelling—a tradition that dates back thousands of years. Monsters, he learned, have haunted the shadows of our legends since the dawn of human history, serving as reflections of our deepest fears and desires. Today, Dreagen is the proud owner of Grim Thrall, an independent publishing house specializing in horror and dark fantasy, with a particular emphasis on melancholic storytelling. Through his work, he strives not only to share his love for the genre but also to inspire readers to discover their own enduring fascination with the stories that dwell in the dark.
