Jolie Toomajan is a writer, editor, and all-around ghoul. Her work has appeared in Upon a Thrice Time, Death in the Mouth, Apex, Remains, and Black Static (among other places), and she is the Shirley Jackson Award-winning editor of Aseptic and Faintly Sadistic: An Anthology of Hysteria Fiction. She has a PhD in English, and her dissertation focused on the women who wrote for Weird Tales. Despite all of this, she thinks the tapping sound on the window is probably nothing. You can find her on BlueSky and Instagram.
