Joe Bitton

Born and raised in Boston, Joe Bitton has been a devout horror geek since early childhood. An avid reader from a young age, he spent many sleepless nights poring over Goosebumps and watching Tales from the Crypt. Joe’s love of the genre has only intensified. The inspiration for “Lioness” came from asking himself, “What caused me to fall in love with horror as a child?” Thinking back to nights watching the Cryptkeeper cackle away introducing his next tale of terror, and the rush of joy and excitement he felt over it, brought Joe to this conclusion: Those simple, pulpy stories were all moralistic tales. Grimm’s fairy tales for the slightly twisted. Joe observes, “The real payoff comes when the wrongdoer gets what they deserve!”
