Carter Keane
Carter Keane is an Ohio-based horror author whose debut novella draws heavily from personal experience.
Raised in poverty, Keane attended a liberal arts college studying Creative Writing and Environmental Studies, accumulating significant student loan debt.
Their worldview was shaped by literary theory, sustainable agriculture studies, and a string of diverse jobs including copywriter, donut glazer, commercial appraiser, pizza delivery driver, and nonprofit employee.
These experiences fueled a strong anti-capitalist perspective that permeates their writing.
Keane pairs primal fears of the unknown with modern anxieties about labor exploitation and systemic injustice, gardening and rereading David Graeber in their spare time.
