Janasha Prabhu

Janasha Prabhu is a graduate of the University of Illinois with degrees in chemistry and computer science and is a fellow of the 2024 LitUp cycle through Reese’s Book Club.

She has adored horror ever since picking up her first Goosebumps book as a kid and enjoys incorporating her experiences as a queer woman of color, her love for animals, and her interests in cooking into dark and twisted stories.

Janasha currently lives in Chicago with her partner and their three cats—Grimm, James, and Harpo—and loves catching the latest horror movie when she’s not writing.
