Jimmy Gillentine grew up with a fondness for horror, science fiction and fantasy flavored with the southern tang of his native Memphis. His debut novella, Of Blood and the Moon, was first published in 2009 and was a finalist for the Darrell Award. Other publications include a short story titled “Fifteen-Minute Break” in the annual anthology Cover of Darkness and a novella titled “A Night at Death’s Door,” as well as an essay in Where the Shadow Sees the Sun. His novel The Beast Within begins the bittersweet story of Andrew and Angela, which continued in Crossroads, published by Inkstained Succubus Press. Pro Se Publishing then collected all three novels in an omnibus edition released in 2018. He earned a double major bachelor’s degree in English literature, philosophy, and a minor in creative writing at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, Jimmy is a member of the Literary Underworld and the Eville Writers, and is married to author Elizabeth Donald.
