Tanner Rutledge writes horror and thrillers. 

Tanner’s love of storytelling started early. He was the kid who wrote spooky tales for his second-grade classmates and was always up late reading Stephen King and RL Stine under the covers. 

In college, he studied criminal justice but couldn’t stay away from creative writing and literature classes. When the world shut down in 2020, he finally gave himself permission to shift his focus back to writing and hasn’t looked back since.

He also hosts The Killer Prose Podcast, where he talks about the craft of writing, creativity, and the strange overlap between true crime and the paranormal.

When he’s not writing, you can usually find him spending time with his family or hanging out with his little black cat, Broccoli—his constant companion and occasional editor.

Tanner's debut novel is coming soon. You can sign up to get updates about this and other projects here.
