Cassie West - Horror Author

Meet the Author

Cassie West is a horror and thriller author who writes the kind of stories that stare back.

Her work blends psychological dread with raw, atmospheric terror, where grief festers, guilt takes shape, and nothing stays buried for long. Whether it's a crumbling farmhouse or the rot beneath someone's smile, West's stories peel back the ordinary to reveal the monstrous underneath.

The Work

Her breakout novel, 2,341, is a mind-bending psychological horror that explores identity, isolation, and the terrifying question of what truly lies within us. The Hollowing Harvest digs into the cursed soil of Hollow Creek—a town haunted by secrets, sacrifice, and something very old that refuses to stay forgotten. Her latest release, No One Leaves the Wake, traps the guilty inside Wakefield Hall for a five-day vigil where vengeful spirits demand justice.

💀 Fun Fact

Cassie is actually a big baby when it comes to watching horror movies. You will find her screaming in the dark theatres.

When She's Not Writing

When she's not writing, Cassie is usually researching obscure folklore, collecting oddities that make guests uncomfortable, or talking herself out of exploring abandoned buildings "for research."

The Support Team

Vince - The Incredibly Supportive Husband

She lives with her incredibly supportive husband, Vince—who definitely didn't sign up for this many conversations about corpse logistics. Despite this, he remains her biggest champion and bravest first reader.

The Editorial Board (aka The Dogs)

And then there are their three dogs, who are all terrible at helping plot murders, but excellent at moral support:

🐕 Maverick

The brave one. First to investigate strange noises, last to run from thunderstorms. Provides courage when Cassie writes herself into a corner.

🐕 Chase

The sweet one. Official keeper of the emotional support treats and chief provider of comforting paw placement during difficult scenes.

🐕 Riley

The chaos gremlin. Specializes in creating real-life plot twists like "mysterious destruction of important manuscript pages" and "surprise guest appearances during video calls."

Haunted House Horror

"I believe the best horror comes from the spaces where the ordinary meets the impossible—where grief festers into something with teeth, where guilt takes physical shape, and where the familiar becomes a stranger wearing your mother's face. My goal isn't just to scare readers; it's to make them question what they thought they knew about themselves."
