She writes about spooky small towns and the messy queer kids who survive them. From scary stories at summer camp to Goosebumps to Stephen King, Peyton has always been a fan of horror, especially when it’s used to challenge systems of oppression. After graduating with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Cleveland Institute of Art, she traded the cornfields of Ohio for the evergreens of Washington. where she now lives with her partner and their cat with a drooling problem. When she’s not creating, Peyton enjoys riding her fifty-year-old Schwinn bicycle, collecting antique photographs, and ghost hunting.

She is represented by Miriam Cortinovis at ArtHouse Literary Agency.
