Mikayla Buckman is a self-published author of psychological horror and suspense, drawn to the unsettling spaces where fear, obsession, and the human mind collide. Her work explores the darkness lurking beneath the surface of ordinary life, blending psychological tension, disturbing twists, and characters who are rarely what they seem.

A lifelong storyteller, Mikayla has been writing since childhood, when she created her own little books long before imagining where her stories might take her. Today, her writing is often inspired by her vivid dreams and the unsettling ideas that linger long after waking. For Mikayla, a single dream or fleeting thought can become the foundation for an entire nightmare.

She is the author of Dark Corners of the Mind, Moths to Flames, Embermere, and The Man With All the Keys. When she isn’t writing, she can often be found watching horror movies, crafting, or spending time with her family and three dachshunds.

Mikayla believes the most terrifying stories aren’t always about what hides in the dark, but what happens when we finally uncover it.
