ABOUT C.J. NELSON

A man with a red beard and mustache wearing a black baseball cap, a checkered blue shirt, and a dark blazer, smiling against a purple background.

Writer of supernatural horror, occult action, and dark stories with teeth.

C.J. Nelson writes dark supernatural fiction filled with blood, folklore, grief, humor, and monsters that refuse to stay buried.

His work blends Southern gothic atmosphere, comic-book momentum, occult horror, and character-driven action. In his world, heroes carry salt and iron, ghosts have unfinished business, and every monster leaves a mark.

He is the author of The Exterminator, a supernatural horror series following Hudson Dubois, a third-generation Exterminator… the man you call when even the priests look away.

What I Write

  • Haunted places, old churches, buried sins, and things waiting in the dark.

  • Fast, brutal, cinematic stories built on salt, iron, blood, and bad choices.

  • Creatures are never just creatures. They are grief, guilt, hunger, and history with teeth.
