Seth Grahame-Smith
Seth Grahame-Smith is an American novelist, screenwriter, and film and television producer born on January 4, 1976, in Rockville Centre, New York.
Grahame-Smith attended Bethel High School before going on to study at Emerson College. Writing in English, he built a career that spans fiction, non-fiction, screenwriting, and producing, working across both film and television as an executive producer. His range of professional roles reflects a sustained engagement with storytelling in multiple formats, from the page to the screen.
His notable works include Pride and Prejudice and Zombies and Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter, both of which demonstrate his work in the genre mashup — a form that fuses existing literary or historical material with horror and comedy. The collision of canonical source texts with supernatural subject matter is a defining characteristic of his written work, and genre mashup, horror literature, and comedy recur as the primary modes through which his fiction operates.
