J. Hernandez has loved strange and thought-provoking stories since he was a kid. Growing up watching The Twilight Zone and The Outer Limits, he became fascinated with stories that could begin one way and completely surprise you by the end.
In high school, his English teacher, Ms. Romero, encouraged his creative writing and pushed him to think a little deeper about the stories he wanted to tell. That encouragement stayed with him throughout the years.
Years later, that love of storytelling eventually led to Tales Within the Dark, a collection created alongside his wife and co-author, B. Hernandez. His stories often focus on ordinary people finding themselves in situations that gradually become anything but ordinary.
Outside of writing, he enjoys movies, creative projects, traveling with his wife, spending time with family and finding new ways to bring stories to life.
