Alden T. Graves

Author

Alden T. Graves grew up in the quiet suburbs of Toronto, Ontario — the kind of place where nothing bad ever happens until it does. He studied electrical engineering, but found himself increasingly drawn to stories of the supernatural, the unexplained, and the things that don’t blink when they should.

His work blends modern mythos with creeping dread, focusing on isolation, recursion, and the dark rituals of small-town routine. When he’s not writing, he spends his time researching vanished towns, obsolete tech, and real-world cases that feel just a little too much like fiction.

Alden currently lives somewhere north of nowhere, where the static’s clearer at night.
