Noah Lloyd
Noah Lloyd (he/they) writes darkly erotic horror and speculative fiction for the page, the screen, and your ears. They are most interested in asking questions like, “What makes a good person? How do we make the world kinder? How does someone raise children who aren’t serial killers?” His most recent project is Burgess Springs, an immersive audio drama podcast that’s a little bit Serial, a little bit Twin Peaks, and which was somehow, briefly, the #1 drama podcast in New Zealand. Their work has appeared or is forthcoming in Simultaneous Times, Leviathan, Every Day Fiction, and Blasphemous Tomes, and he has appeared in numerous tabletop RPG products. They have a PhD. in English Literature from Cornell University and currently work in the communications department of a major Boston university (but probably not the one you’re thinking of).
