About me

Unlike the stories I like to tell, my life is far from a horror story.

Like most in this world, I have had struggles and my crosses to bare. Fortunately for me, I have had the support of my friends and family to help me through adversity. My husband and mother deserve a particular shout out in this regard.

While my writings do follow the macabre and  the horrific, the themes I like to explore boil down to the human experience. I was always told to write what I know, and what I know is being: Hispanic, a son, a brother, and a member of the LGBTQ+ community.

All this is to say, with my stories expect character-driven stories that promote diversity and inclusion, in a dark and terrifying setting. My name is Gabriel Reyes, and it is a pleasure to meet you!

As a horror writer, could I survive a Horror movie?

It’s what you are all wondering, so let me answer this upfront: Absolutely not!

I have my headphones in way too often to be aware of my surroundings. Also, I have two adorable dogs to keep alive so there is that added challenge.
