ⓘ About Bentley Little
Bentley Little is an American author that writes horror stories. Bentley is an enigmatic figure whose reclusive nature and disinterest in engaging with the masses has allowed the mystery of his persona to grow. +Biography Bentley Little was born in 1960 in Arizona. The author speaks fondly of the fact that he was born soon after his mother watched the movie ‘Psycho’. Bentley’s parents had no idea what to expect when they went to watch the Hitchcock film. And it has been reported that Bentley’s mother screamed so hard at some of the scenes that they feared she would accidentally give birth to Bentley there and then. Whether or not the incident was a sign from the stars that Bentley was destined to write horror, the author definitely took to the genre at an early age.
