Dru Pagliassotti

Dru Pagliassotti writes horror and fantasy fiction and teaches in the communication department of California Lutheran University. As a professor, her current research interests are in the Western reception and development of boys’ love fiction from Japan and the rise of the male/male romance among female writers in the U.S. She has served as the editor in chief and publisher of ''The Harrow'' fantasy and horror magazine for 11 years, and runs The Harrow Press which publishes anthologies of horror fiction. She was born an Air Force brat and has lived in a variety of states: D.C., Alaska, Missouri, Utah, Illinois, and California. She spent most her high school years overseas in Naples, Italy, and has revisited Italy three times since then, mostly to stay in Venice. She loves to travel — it’s her No. 2 life priority, right after writing.
