Irene Bassett

Irene Stark from NoSleep as Iron Lady

Irene Bassett is a 23-year-old trans author. She enjoys writing horror and science fiction but her first love will always be fantasy. She was born in Farmington, New Mexico, and will probably be buried in an unmarked grave in the desert so she can live with the coyotes and crows of her homeland.

She’s better known for her work with the NoSleep Podcast under the pseudonym Irene Stark, as well as on Creepy. You can follow her personal Tumblr, where she often posts flash science fiction, as well as writing advice. She loves to help folks, so feel free to ask her any questions on her Tumblr. When not writing, Irene loves to play Dungeons and Dragons, which she uses to sharpen her storytelling skills. She enjoys coffee, cats, kicking anti-LGBT+ ass, and chewing bubble gum. She’s currently out of bubble gum.
