Rook Riley
NeuroSpicy & Nerdy Horror
Rook Riley (she/they) is a Texas horror author, game writer, educator, and former Army linguist who occasionally veers into audio drama with the Good Morning Evil Doers podcast. Their work on Edge Game’s Arkham Horror RPG indulged their lifelong fascination with monsters while cementing a deep and personal hatred for unnecessary apostrophes.
A member of the Horror Writers Association, the Texas Center for the Missing, and the Cold Case Coalition, Rook writes stories steeped in dust, ghosts, and the kinds of secrets small towns bury in the dark. Their work has appeared in The Horror Zone, Rebels & Revenants, and Don’t Ask, Ghosts Tell.
