A.C. Hessenauer describes herself as a writer of horror, chaos, and madness. A.C.'s next novel, Going to the Six, will be published by Cemetery Dance in June 2026, and was selected for the Cemetery Dance Trade Paperback Book Club.
When she’s not participating in macabre ceremonies dedicated to the eldritch horrors out in the woods, A.C. enjoys spending time with her family: her husband, two sons, and border collie named Maximus. She loves a good horror movie, and of course, getting swallowed whole by a good book.
A.C. is represented by Mark Falkin of Falkin Literary.

Going to the Six


Poisoned Folk Tales will release in Fall of 2026. Stay tuned for updates!
