Dan Fields is a writer of horror and the weird living in Houston, Texas. He graduated from Northwestern University in 2006 with a degree in Film and a minor in French. He has yet to make a single French film, but he's had both professional and semi-professional brushes with videography, criticism, animation and music.

Dan is a co-founder of Fields Point Pictures, an independent production group specializing in original cartoon shorts. He also writes, performs and records with the Lone Star blues & rock band Polecat Rodeo.

Since 2015 Dan has published over two dozen stories with various print, online and audio concerns. He is a proud contributor to Nocturnal Transmissions, the NoSleep Podcast, Pseudopod, the educational textbook Analyzing Short Stories, the Road Kill Texas horror anthology series by Hellbound Books, and many more. Upcoming projects include a feature-length screenplay, at least one novel and plenty of bloodthirsty ballast for future story collections.
