Jamal Hodge is a native New Yorker and an award-winning filmmaker, writer, and poet. A member of the Horror Writers' Association and Science Fiction Poetry Association, a Bram Stoker Award winner, a Nebula Award finalist, and a Dwarf Stars and Elgin Award winner. Author of The Dark Between the Twilight, Everything Endless (with Linda D. Addison), I'm Not A Good Person I'm A New Yorker, and the editor of Bestiary of Blood: Modern Fables & Dark Tales and Shards of Gotham: New York City Through the Looking Glass (June 2027). Jamal loves the broken things that want to be understood and the secret things that never bother to hide. Through his writing, he hopes to uncover the paradox between suffering and meaning and to use darkness to reveal light. When he's not writing or filming, Jamal is traveling to odd locales, connecting with the youth, or bludgeoning an unsuspecting ear with an endless tide of philosophical drivel.He fancies himself a pretty cool guy.
