Alaina Urquhart is the science-loving co-host of the chart-topping
show Morbid- A True Crime Podcast. As an autopsy technician by
trade, she offers a unique perspective from deep inside the morgue.
Alaina hails from Boston, where she lives with her wonderful
husband, John, their three amazing daughters, and a ghost Puggle
named Bailey. She is about 75 percent coffee, and truly believes
she and Agent Clarice Starling could be friends.
Before writing her first psychological horror novel, she received
degrees in criminal justice, psychology, and biology. When she
isn't hosting Morbid, she hosts the Parcast original show Crime
Countdown, and a horror movie podcast called Scream!. Her days are
usually spent either recording or eviscerating. The way she sees
it, when she hangs up her microphone for the day, it's time to let
the dead speak.
