Alex Brown is a queer, biracial Pilipino American writer who loves rooting for the final girl—especially if she’s a monster. Alex is also one of the co-creators and producers of The Bridge, a spooky, folklore-filled audio drama podcast that has over 1,000,000 downloads to date! In a past life, Alex worked on Supernatural and Netflix’s Resident Evil, though now she lives a quiet life in Los Angeles with her partner and their two chaotic cats.

Alex has a short story in THE GATHERING DARK: AN ANTHOLOGY OF FOLK HORROR, which was an instant Indie Bestseller! Her YA comedy-horror debut, DAMNED IF YOU DO, was a Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection. It will be out on August 1, 2023 from Page Street YA.

Alex is also co-editing NIGHT OF THE LIVING QUEERS, a YA Horror anthology featuring stories solely written by Queer Authors of Color. NOTLQ was released on August 29, 2023 from Wednesday Books.

Dead Girls Don't Dream (2024)
Nino Cipri
"An eerie, modern fairy tale that sinks its teeth into readers from the first page. A must read for folklore lovers and those who've wandered off the safe path in the woods."

We Mostly Come Out at Night (2024)
Rob Costello
"A surefire hit for the monster (or monster-lover) in your life, We Mostly Come Out At Night has tales that are romantic, terrifying, bittersweet, and unexpected. Whether we're being introduced to powerful new creatures, or meeting an old friend that can be summoned in a mirror, you'll be drawn in by each story's compelling characters as they navigate their own unique facet of the queer experience. A must-read for anyone who's been intrigued by shadows on the wall or things that go bump in the night!"

The Final Curse of Ophelia Cray (2024)
Christine Calella
"Calella's worldbuilding and characters shine, taking us on a journey filled with magic, danger, and lots of heart. The real curse would be never picking this book up in the first place."
