Early life

Massey was born in Waukegan, Illinois, and grew up in Zion, a suburb north of Chicago.[1]

Work

Many of Massey's works are set in and around Atlanta, Georgia and in the Deep South. His novels frequently incorporate elements of horror, suspense, and the supernatural. Massey's stories involve contemporary African-American life in both urban and southern gothic settings.

"I became addicted to that adrenaline rush that you get when you're watching a horror movie, or reading a chilling novel. And when I got serious about writing, I was drawn to create these kind of stories, to experience that rush and share it with others."[2]

Publishing

Several of Massey's earliest novels were published by Kensington Books under its Dafina imprint. His subsequent works have been published by Dark Corner Publishing, his own independent publishing company based in Atlanta.
