BIOGRAPHY

Chad Anctil is a bestselling author whose work blends horror, dark fantasy, and the uncanny edges of the everyday. A native of Rhode Island, the cradle of Lovecraftian lore, he discovered his passion for strange stories and dark fiction early, cultivating an imagination shaped by the strange histories and shadowed corners of New England.

After honing his creativity through writing and DJing as a teenager, Chad served in the U.S. Navy throughout the 1990s as an electronics engineer aboard fast-attack submarines. His later travels across California, Hawaii, and beyond immersed him in vibrant underground arts communities, from midnight warehouse raves and experimental performance pieces to oddities like clandestine robot combat and graveyard poetry gatherings. These surreal experiences continue to inform the atmospheric, supernatural undertones in his fiction.

Now settled once more in New England, Chad balances a career in cybersecurity with an expansive creative life. In addition to writing horror and urban fantasy, he is an award-winning fire performer, flow artist, puppeteer, and DJ—pursuits that echo the same imaginative spark that drives his stories.

Chad is currently under contract with Perspective Publishing for his urban fantasy supernatural crime series, Providence Supernatural Crimes Unit, and his short stories have been featured in more than 30 horror anthologies from publishers like Signus Magnolia, New England Horror Writers, Wicked Shadow Press, and more.
