Georgia Hardstark

Georgia Hardstark is one of this book's co-authors as well as a co-creator and co-host of the hit podcast My Favorite Murder. Raised in Orange County by divorced parents, Georgia often felt stifled by her suburban life and was keen to move to Los Angeles, which she did in her late teens. From a young age, Georgia has always had a keen interest in horror and true crime. She has struggled with anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, and an eating disorder, and is an advocate of professional therapy. Georgia always struggled in school but enjoyed reading, particularly books by authors such as Stephen King and Ray Bradbury.

At 13, Georgia entered a crisis period in her life. She started stealing from her classmates and shoplifting, she developed an eating disorder, and became addicted to drugs. Georgia went to rehab but credits the Ray Bradbury book The Martian Chronicles...
