The Writer

Heather Hein’s uniquely hilarious horror stories could be described as Jack Black channeling both Erma Bombeck and H.P. Lovecraft, while her science fiction ignites our curiosity and tugs at our humanity. Whether she’s writing about arthritic vampires, dapper devils in dire circumstances, or the occasional interspecies romance, Heather’s stories are compelling, insightful, and unforgettable.

Heather writes from the foot of the Rocky Mountains where she lives with a menagerie of people, pets, and plants. She has been published in multiple magazines and anthologies since her first short story, AISLE 16, was published in The Tulip Tree Review.

Her debut novel, Gladys the Vampire, is available as Print on Demand or eBook on the Kiki’s Castle Independent Press, LLC website, on Barnes & Noble, and on Amazon. You can also find copies at the Crowded Bookshelf and a few other local bookstores in Colorado.

When not writing, Heather spends her time delving into true crime, enjoying the outdoors, encouraging fellow writers, and contemplating how everything in our world would make a great horror story.
