Ace Antonio Hall was born Acemandese Nzondi Hall in Elmhurst Hospital in Queens. Nzondi (Ace Antonio Hall) is an American horror author and is the first African-American to win a Bram Stoker in a novel category for his young adult book. The Bram Stoker Award is the most prestigious award given to horror writers in the world.

Recently, Nzondi was inspired by one of the characters in his upcoming work subtitled Blood-Teens (the main title is N/A). He wrote, sung and produced an alternative rock song called "Teenage RockStarr" based on a teenage vampire singer named Elle, who is a part of a band named Toxic in his story. The song was released in July and it features the legendary hip-hop artist Fredro Starr (Onyx) and David Moreno on drums (Puddle of Mudd).

A former Director of Education for NYC schools and the Sylvan Learning Center, Nzondi earned a BFA from Long Island University. His recent novels are Lipstick Asylum, and his Bram Stoker Award-winning novel, Oware Mosaic (Omnium Gatherum Publishing).

    • Quotes
      I have been enamored by darker side of things since watching the Creature Features television program when I was eight years old. I knew the moment I saw The Creature from the Black Lagoon, Abbott and Costello Meets Frankenstein and Hitchcock's Psycho that I wanted to write science fiction and pursued a BFA from Long Island University. The stories which seemed immovable from my thought process and have influenced me greatly are Parable of the Sower, Neuromancer, The Stand, Night of The Living Dead and every episode from the Twilight Zone series. Believe it or not, Dead World Living (my first manuscript/novel) was influenced by the very first novel I read as a ten year old boy, Escape From Witch Mountain by Alexander Key; talk about how important first impressions are.
