Michael Armbrust
Michael grew up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where rusted bridges and haunted alleyways inspired a lifelong fascination with the supernatural. Now based in North Carolina, he writes gothic urban fantasy that blends eerie suspense with deep emotion and queer-centered storytelling. His debut novel, Echoes of the Night: Shadows of Pittsburgh, explores hidden worlds beneath familiar streets, where monsters wear familiar faces and magic is never what it seems.
Michael's writing draws from a love of mythology, horror, and found-family dynamics. He believes the best stories are the ones that leave you changed—haunted, hopeful, and maybe just a little bit ruined in the best way.
When not writing, he can be found exploring hidden corners of the internet, watching some iteration of Star Trek, obsessing over coffee rituals, or quietly plotting his next twist in the Nightwalker saga. He's a firm believer that every city has ghosts, every person carries a secret, and every story deserves a little magic.
