She was never fond of villains as a child but grew to love villains when the movies for “Sleeping Beauty” and “Snow White” came out. Serena has also been influenced by Disney movies and remembers how taken she was by the “Hound” and “Bambi” that got her upset for weeks when they were released.

Since she loved reading, she is inspired by a wide range of authors from all manners of genres. She wanted to become an author right from when she was a child but it was not until she was in her twenties that she got her first story published. Serena grew up reading a lot of books as she was born in a family that loved to read. She currently has more than ten novels in the “Disney Villains” series among several single standing novels. Serena’s first published work was “Fairest of All” that she first published in 2009. In addition to her graphic novels, she is also the author of “How to be a Werewolf” and “How to be a Zombie,” which are two young adult novels. Going forward, Valentino has said that Fearsome Library Publishing her own publishing press will be responsible for the publishing of all her future graphic works. “Nightmares & Fairy Tales” which combines horror and comic genres has earned Serena critical acclaim as she is known for her extraordinary and beautiful female protagonists, frightening but exquisite worlds full of terror, and unique storytelling style. She has made a name for herself for stories that combine guile and mythos with her comic graphic novel series “Nightmares & Fairy Tales” and “GloomCookie” that she initially published under SLG Publishing.

Serena Valentino is a comics & graphic novel, literature & fiction, and horror fiction author.
