Mercedes Khali is a horror and dark comedy writer whose work gives voice and power to the non-conventional, angsty, and emo Black girls of the world by ensuring that they are NEVER a sidekick, token, or heartfelt self-sacrifice.
In her nightmares, all the Final Girls are Black.
As a founding member and ongoing collaborator of The Write or Die Chicks, she has written and produced work including her horror sci-fi short MOTHER, that streamed on Shudder as a part of the NYX 13 MINUTES OF HORROR 2022 anthology collection.
She is a regular contributor to the WODC’s original horror anthology podcast, A BAD FEELING HORROR PODCAST, lending her writing, producing, and voice acting talents to the first two seasons and is currently developing the third.
