Grady Hendrix is an American author, journalist, public speaker, and screenwriter known for his best-selling 2014 novel Horrorstör.[2] Hendrix lives in Manhattan and was one of the founders of the New York Asian Film Festival.[3]

Hendrix worked in the library of the American Society for Psychical Research before turning to professional writing.[4] Alongside his novels, he has written for numerous media outlets, including Playboy Magazine, The New York Post, and, prior to its closure in 2008, as a film critic for The New York Sun.[5]

In 2009, Hendrix attended the Clarion Workshop at the University of California at San Diego.[6]

He has also contributed to Katie Crouch's young adult series The Magnolia League, and his fiction has appeared in Strange Horizons and Pseudopod.[5]

In 2012, Hendrix co-wrote Dirt Candy: A Cookbook, a graphic novel/cookbook/memoir with his wife Amanda Cohen and Ryan Dunlavey.[7] In 2014, Quirk Books published his debut original novel, Horrorstör, which was subsequently optioned into a television series by FOX.[8] Grady then wrote My Best Friend's Exorcism (2016) and the acclaimed non-fiction study Paperbacks from Hell: The Twisted History of ’70s and ’80s Horror Fiction (2017).[9] He also co-wrote the 2017 motion picture Mohawk with director Ted Geoghegan[10] and the spec script for the horror comedy film Satanic Panic, which was acquired and produced by Fangoria during mid 2018.[11] Two of Hendrix's other books, My Best Friend's Exorcism and Horrorstör, have been optioned for television and film adaptations, respectively.[11]
