Hope Madden

An award-winning writer, filmmaker, and film critic, Hope Madden operates at the intersection of horror fiction on the page and on the screen. Her works, including psychological horror narratives, share a sharp awareness of human behavior, often delving into the uneasy spaces where instinct, identity, and consequence meet. 

With her contributions appearing in multiple anthologies and her feature film Obstacle Corpse reaching streaming audiences, Hope Madden continues to craft stories that venture far beyond their final frame or final line.

Hope Madden’s short fiction has gained recognition in the realm of horror fiction, appearing across a variety of horror anthologies. Her works include pieces featured in collections that explore feminist horror, vampire lore, and contemporary dark fiction. Known for their precision and restraint, Hope Madden's stories excel at building psychological horror, allowing tension to simmer beneath the surface rather than overtly revealing itself.

Hope Madden's debut feature film, Obstacle Corpse, is currently available on streaming platforms including Amazon Prime and Tubi. Her short films can also be found online, where her visual storytelling continues to explore themes of tension, character, and consequence, much like her work in horror fiction and psychological horror.
