Serena Valentino

Serena Valentino is a comic book writer, based in San Francisco, who is responsible for such comics as "Gloom Cookie" and "Nightmares & Fairy Tales".

Valentino is known for her unique style of storytelling, bringing her readers into exquisitely frightening worlds filled with terror, beauty and extraordinary female protagonists. She has been weaving tales that combine mythos and guile for the past eight years with her work on the comic book series "Gloom Cookie" and "Nightmares & Fairy Tales" published with SLG Publishing.

Her most recent work, "Nightmares & Fairy Tales: 1140 Rue Royale", a historical horror story based on the real Madame Lalaurie, infamous for her torture of her slaves, has earned her critical acclaim in both the comics and horror domain. With art by Crab Scrambly, this series delves into the most horrific aspects of American history.

Currently Valentino is writing two new comic book series, "Enchanted" and "Hell’s Café". Now she is returning to the fairy tale format with artist Camilla d' Errico, featuring stories about a sleeping beauty, a captured mermaid and the infamous Blue Beard.

She has also written the play "The Bride of the Mummy", presently in pre-production in New Orleans. Currently she is writing two short films based on fairy-tales for the independent film company End of Sky Productions, and she is writing a novel for young adults for Disney Press based on the Wicked Queen from "Snow White," entitled "The Fairest of All", to be released in October 2008.
