Thomm Quackenbush (December 14, 1980, Cold Spring, NY) is an American author of speculative fiction including his Night's Dream series.
He lives and teaches in the Mid-Hudson Valley of New York. As of 2014, he is married to Amber Haqu.
He grew up reading the works of Kurt Vonnegut, Neil Gaiman, Anne Rice, and Terry Pratchett. He later became a fan of humorous non-fiction, such as the works of David Sedaris and Bill Bryson, all of which has informed his style.
He grew up in the Hudson Valley during the famous UFO Flap on the middle 1980s, igniting an interest in the paranormal, causing him to read widely about fortean phenomena. Additionally, he devoted himself to pagan religions in childhood, giving him a wide background in supernatural theories and the particulars of witchcraft, which he incorporates heavily in his works, most notably the Night's Dream series.
In 2010, he received his contract for We Shadows. He subsequently published three sequels and has several others in the works. In 2011, SyFy Channel solicited the rights to We Shadows, though the deal did not proceed further.
He has worked on comics with DC Comics artist Dezi Sienty under the now-defunct label of Cave Drawing Ink.
He is known for askew takes on commonplace myths and the history of the Hudson Valley.
