Brandon Cornett, Writer and Author

I’m a novelist who blends science fiction, horror, and other forms of speculative fiction. I’ve written several novels including Purgatory, The Mall, The Holdbacks, and The Girl at the End of the World — all available on Amazon.

I’m currently working on a web-based story project called The Deadlands. Sign up today, and you’ll receive a brand-new story every week, sent straight to your inbox.

I also write about the craft of horror writing, here on my website and also through The Deadlands.

Bio and Background

I grew up in Virginia, went to college there, and eventually joined the military.

After the military, I worked as a copywriter in Texas, writing for brochures and advertisements. I later went into business for myself as a freelance writer and blogger.

On the fiction side, I’ve been writing for many years. My short stories have appeared in The Mississippi ReviewLa Petite Zine, and other (mostly obscure) literary journals.

My latest novel, The Mall, tells the story of a mother trying to rescue her daughter from a shopping mall overrun by murderous androids … at Christmastime.
