About the Author
Ted Lazaris is an American novelist, screenwriter, producer, and Director of The Film Co-Operative, where he develops motion pictures based on original stories and high-concept suspense. He is the Creator of Documented Terror—a distinctive style of storytelling that transforms real crimes, unexplained mysteries, historical investigations, and documented encounters into gripping, cinematic novels that blur the line between reality and fear.
For more than four decades, Lazaris has pursued one goal: to place readers inside extraordinary events so completely that they feel like eyewitnesses rather than spectators. Every Documented Terror novel is built upon documented cases, historical records, investigative research, and witness testimony, combining factual foundations with relentless suspense, emotional realism, and page-turning storytelling. The result is an experience that has attracted readers of true crime, horror, paranormal mysteries, historical suspense, and psychological thrillers around the world.
Lazaris is also the creator of the bestselling DragonMan series. His novel DragonMan: Face of the Unknown debuted at #1 on Amazon Kindle, surpassing numerous established bestselling authors and establishing him as a powerful new voice in suspense fiction.
His stories continue to expand beyond books into motion pictures. Multiple feature films based on his original works are currently in development, including DragonMan: The Adventures of Luke Starr and the science-fiction thriller Organism 46-B. Every novel is written with a cinematic vision, creating immersive experiences that naturally translate from page to screen.
Despite living with dyslexia throughout his life, Lazaris refused to let it define his future. Through perseverance, discipline, and an unwavering passion for storytelling, he built a creative career spanning more than forty years. His dedication to literature and the arts earned him a Letter of Commendation from former First Lady Laura Bush, recognizing his commitment to encouraging reading and creative achievement.
Today, Ted Lazaris continues to build one of the most distinctive brands in suspense fiction. Whether exploring serial killers, unexplained disappearances, forgotten historical events, paranormal mysteries, scientific enigmas, or documented phenomena that continue to challenge explanation, every story is guided by the same philosophy:
The greatest terror is not what we imagine...
It is what has already happened.
