About me: Serena Valentino. Lady-about-town, writer. Serena Valentino has been weaving tales that combine mythos and guile for the past ten years with her work on the comic book series GloomCookie and Nightmares & Fairy Tales published with SLG Publishing. Nightmares & Fairy Tales: 1140 Rue Royale has earned her critical acclaim in both the comic and horror domain, where she is known for her unique style of storytelling, bringing her readers into exquisitely frightening worlds filled with terror, beauty and extraordinary female protagonists. On her most recent work on Nightmares & Fairy Tales with Camilla d' Errico, Serena has returned to the fairy tale format with a modern retelling of Sleeping Beauty and a grisly tale about a mermaid, both of which have become fan-favorites. Among her other projects, Serena is currently writing a horror screenplay with writer/director Phil Flores (of the Butcher Brothers), a novel entitled Teratopia, as well as three new comic series/graphic novels, Enchanted, Blackbird the Pirate Queen and Hell’s Café. She has also written a novel for young adults for Disney Press based on the Wicked Queen from Snow White entitled: Fairest of All - IN STORES NOW. Visit www.serenavalentino.com
