Aron Beauregard is an independent American horror writer from Central Falls, Rhode Island, associated with splatterpunk and extreme horror. In the public biographies tied to his work, the repeated formative detail is not formal schooling so much as the fact that he began writing horror in the sixth grade, a detail that casts his career as the product of long practice rather than sudden emergence. By 2026, official bios described him as the author of more than 30 books, translated into multiple languages, and as a writer who routinely pairs his fiction with commissioned illustration under the AB Horror banner.
