Jonathan M. Chaffin (1978-) was born in Greenville, South Carolina. Trained as a graphic designer, Jonathan considers himself a storyteller and essayist/historian. A lifetime fan of horror stories and film, his current projects include writing reviews for the "Monster Serial" series of books and devoting time to www.HorrorInClay.com where he uses artifacts and ephemera to tell stories (he also produces horror-themed tiki mugs and barware like the Horror In Clay Cthulhu Tiki Mug). “MONSTER SERIAL offers engaging appreciations of some fine fright films. Chaffin and McBride lend pungent, personal, well-wrought observations and McCray’s essays are of particularly focused passion. These pieces will inspire you to review favorites with a refreshed perspective as well as to embrace other movies for the first time, lead by these authors’ enthusiasm.” — MAGUS PETER H. GILMORE, High Priest of the Church of Satan"In addition, Jonathan occasionally does voice-over and podcasting work and appears on panels at sci-fi fantasy and pop culture conventions on a variety of topics.
