Ray Garton ist ein renommierter US-amerikanischer Autor, der seit 1984 hauptberuflich schreibt. Bekannt ist er vor allem für seine Beiträge zu den Genres Horror und Spannung mit über 60 Büchern, darunter Romane, Novellen, Film-Novelizations und TV-Adaptionen. Einige seiner beliebtesten Werke sind "Live Girls", "Crucifax", "E4 Autumn", "The Folks", "Trade Secrets" und "Shackled", sowie zahlreiche Kurzgeschichten und Novellen.
Gartons Schreibkarriere begann bereits im Alter von 8 Jahren, als er seine Leidenschaft für das Storytelling entdeckte. In der Horror-Szene ist er seither eine feste Größe, wovon mehrere seiner Bücher, wie zum Beispiel "Live Girls", verfilmt wurden. Sein Erfolg hält ihn jedoch bescheiden und er bleibt seinem Handwerk gegenüber demütig, wobei er seine Leser als treibende Kraft hinter seiner Karriere nennt.
Garton ist auch auf verschiedenen Social-Media-Plattformen aktiv, wie Facebook und Twitter, wo er gerne mit seinen Lesern in Kontakt tritt und sie über seine neuesten Projekte auf dem Laufenden hält. Seine offizielle Website dient als Zentrum für sein Schaffen, mit Informationen über seine veröffentlichten und kommenden Bücher, Blog, Wettbewerbe und Kurzgeschichten. Garton lebt mit seiner Frau Dawn in Kalifornien.
