Scott A. Johnson was born and raised in the swampland coastal town of Lake Jackson, Texas, which is rife with folklore and ghost stories that greatly influenced him as a child. While most children were content to watch cartoons on Saturday mornings, Scott watched Chiller Theater with his brother, reveling in the performances of Vincent Price, Bela Lugosi and Borris Karloff.

In junior high school, he discovered a deep love for the written word when he was introduced to Edgar Allan Poe's The Cask of Amontillado. He excelled in his English classes all through high school, though he did not begin writing fiction until he reached college.

Scott attended Texas State University-San Marcos — then Southwest Texas State University — and received his Bachelor of Arts in Mass Communication-Advertising. He decided he loved the school and took a full-time position, working as a Media Technician for the Department of English. It was at this time that he was exposed to many great authors, both faculty and visiting.

Scott’s short stories have been published in several magazines, including The Corpse Magazine, Alien Skin Magazine and All Hallows.

Scott lives in San Marcos with his wife, Tabatha, and his two daughters, Anna and Zoe. He continues to work in the Department of English at Texas State University-San Marcos.
