Jason Offutt is a Missouri-based writer whose work straddles the line between paranormal non-fiction and horror fiction. His non-fiction titles like Ghosthunting Missouri, Darkness Walks, and Chasing American Monsters investigate real-world reports of ghosts, shadow people, cryptids, and other unexplained phenomena. His fiction, including The Girl in the Corn and the Bad Day Zombie series, turns similar fears into horror and comedic stories.
Offutt has published steadily since 2005, with his catalog now reaching nineteen books. His non-fiction work draws heavily on his Missouri roots, with several titles focused on the state’s haunted history and local folklore. The Girl in the Corn and its sequel The Boy From Two Worlds represent his more recent move into longer horror fiction, while the Bad Day Zombie books bring a lighter, more comedic tone to the apocalypse genre.
