About the Author

Ronald Coleman is a master of atmospheric dread, drawing from the sun-drenched yet shadowy underbelly of Southern California's coastal landscapes to craft tales that linger like fog over the Pacific. Born and raised in the heart of SoCal, Coleman's fascination with the region's hidden horrors—where palm trees sway against a backdrop of unspoken fears—fuels his narrative prowess. With a background in journalism that honed his eye for the uncanny in everyday life, he transitioned to fiction to explore the psychological fractures beneath the glamour. His debut collection, Dread Coast: SoCal Horror Tales, exemplifies his ability to blend visceral terror with poignant social commentary, earning acclaim for its unflinching portrayal of human vulnerability amid paradise's facade. Coleman's stories remind readers that true monsters often lurk in the familiar, making the ordinary profoundly unsettling.
