Hi! I’m Andrea Blythe, an author, poet, and game writer. I’m also a huge fan of the fantastical, horrifying, and weird in the media I consume, so as I write about the movies and TV I watch, my inclination heavily leans in that direction.

I also run the publication Once Upon the Weird on Medium, a syndication of my blog, where I share my thoughts on horror and weird movies, TV, games, and lore.
