Lora Senf is a wife and a mom to twins. She is also a writer of dark and twisty stories for all ages.
Lora is the author of the middle grade Blight Harbor books including The Clackity, Bram Stoker Award winner The Nighthouse Keeper, The Loneliest Place, and the 1920s-set prequel, Pennies. She is also a Bram Stoker Award finalist for The Losting Fountain. Lora’s upcoming YA horror, Unnamed Bones, is coming July 2026.
Lora finds inspiration for her writing in her children’s retellings of their dreams, on road trips through Montana, and most recently in an abandoned abattoir and at the Anaconda Smoke Stack. As a young reader, she raised herself on classic fairy tales, John Bellairs, Ray Bradbury, and Stephen King (she read Cujo when she was eight and was simultaneously terrified and hooked).
Today, she still prefers a rainy day and a scary book to nearly anything else. In her free time, you can generally find her reading a book—mostly horror but anything a little weird and unsettling will do. Lora credits her love of words to her parents and to the public library that was walking distance from her childhood home. Lora is a member of the Horror Writers Association.
