Jeff Strand


USA flag (b.1970)

Jeff Strand was born in Baltimore, Maryland, but moved to Fairbanks, Alaska when he was six months old, so his memories of Baltimore are hazy. He grew up in the cold, where he desperately wanted to be a cartoonist. Then he wanted to make video games. Then he wanted to write movies. Actually, he still wants to do all of those things, but for now he's quite happy writing lots of demented novels. Because he doesn't do cold weather anymore, he lives in Tampa, Florida with his wife and two cats.

Jeff Strand recommends
thumb
Impacted (2021)
Benji Carr
"A consistently surprising, twist-filled, emotionally resonant treat! I never knew a trip to the dentist could be so insanely entertaining!"
thumb
Toxicity (2014)
Max Booth III
"TOXICITY is about as over-the-top insane as anything you’ll read this year, but without ever sacrificing character or story. It’s a fast-paced, amusing, and wonderfully gross ride!"
thumb
Prank Night (2013)
Kristopher Rufty
"The demented reincarnation of Richard Laymon!"
