Mike Thorn is a Canadian fiction writer[1][2] and film critic.[3] He is the author of the novel Shelter for the Damned,[4][5][6][7], which iHorror's Waylon Jordan named one of the best horror books of 2021[8]. The novel was translated into Spanish[9] and adapted for audio.[10] Thorn is also the author of two short story collections: Darkest Hours[11][12] and Peel Back and See.[13][14]

Jeffrey Reddick, creator of the Final Destination film franchise, calls Shelter for the Damned "a full-throttle descent into visceral terror."[15] Daniel Goldhaber, director of Cam, praised the novel as "a gripping, uncanny tale cut from the same cloth as Stephen King and John Carpenter."[16] S.P. Miskowski writes that Darkest Hours "intertwines the bizarre and the quotidian to form seamless chronicles of personal disaster."[17]

His film criticism has appeared in MUBI Notebook,[18] The Film Stage,[19] Bright Lights Film Journal[20], and elsewhere. He is a doctoral candidate in the Department of English (Creative Writing) at the University of New Brunswick. His scholarship has appeared in Chiasma[21] (University of Western Ontario), American Twilight: The Cinema of Tobe Hooper (University of Texas Press)[22], and elsewhere. His fiction has been featured on The NoSleep Podcast[23] and Tales to Terrify.[24][25]
