Joshua Bish is an American horror author known for crafting deeply atmospheric tales that blend psychological terror, Appalachian folklore, and supernatural dread. A veteran of the United States Army and a law enforcement officer with nearly two decades of service, Joshua draws heavily from real-world encounters with fear, violence, and isolation—elements that echo throughout his writing. Raised in the hills of West Virginia, Joshua grew up surrounded by whispered legends, decaying buildings, and landscapes that seemed to remember what had been buried. His stories explore the thin and dangerous line between the known and the unknowable, often set in places where time blurs, memory fractures, and something ancient waits in the dark. His debut horror novel, Room 316, and its companion prequel, The Lady in Flesh, form the foundation of The Psalms of the Tear series—a chilling saga that unearths the horrors of generational trauma, forgotten sacrifice, and a shadow realm stitched together by suffering. Readers praise his work for its slow-building dread, grotesque imagery, and unsettling beauty. When he isn’t writing, Joshua enjoys exploring abandoned places, studying folklore, and spending time with his children and grandson. He believes horror is most effective when it speaks to the truth we try hardest to ignore—and that the scariest stories are the ones that feel just a little too real.
