Instructor
Elsie Raymond

Elsie Raymond writes horror and dark speculative fiction influenced by her abiding love for pop culture and genre fiction. From a background in politics and economics, Raymond swerved into creating fiction that pairs complex worlds with unhinged ideas. An alumnus of Viable Paradise, her work has been published in literary magazines, anthologies, and a podcast. Raymond lives on an island in the Pacific Northwest, hunting wild mushrooms and spending too much time reading about the mysteries of the cosmos.
