learn about Jerry Decastro
Hello, I am Jerry DeCastro, welcome!
I’ve been writing horror since the early 2000s. My debut novel, Ghoulsquad, was published in 2016, followed by Skinned in 2020, followed by Ghoultown in 2025, and the Novella. Where the Wendio Waits in 2026. Each story dives deep into eerie atmospheres and unsettling…

SKINNED
After a long night and only 3 hours of sleep. Comfort Hardwater gets her life turned upside down. Despite being on the police force for nearly eight years, she had done something silly, as only a rookie would do. She had reached out to touch a live person who had been skinned and left hanging on a wall. Afterwards, as she stepped outside to get some fresh air, an old playmate found her, and he wants Comfort back for his own pleasures again.
Voices From The Dark
“A bone-chilling debut that drags you into the Alaskan wilderness and refuses to let go. DeCastro writes horror the way it should be written — patient, atmospheric, merciless.”
“Skinned kept me up for three nights straight. Comfort Hardwater is one of the most compelling protagonists I've read in years. Brutal, beautiful, unforgettable.”
“Jerry has a rare gift — turning silence into dread. Every page feels like a held breath. I cannot wait for Under The Double Red Moon.”
From The Writing Desk
Notes From The Cabin: Drafting Under The Double Red Moon
Three weeks alone with a typewriter, a wood stove, and the unsettling certainty that I was being watched through the window.
The Wendigo And The Hunger That Remains
Long before pulp paperbacks claimed it, the Wendigo lived in the cold breath of the northern woods — a warning, not a creature.
Writing Fear Without Showing The Monster
The most enduring horror lives in suggestion. A footstep where there shouldn’t be one. A door left slightly ajar.
