André Vianco (São Paulo) is a Brazilian writer of popular horror fiction.

He was born in state of São Paulo and grew up in Osasco. His supernatural work mixes terror, thriller, fantasy and romance in stories that usually include vampires. He had sold 500,000 books by 2012.

Before embracing Vianco as his artistic last name Andre started writing comedies to the Radio Station Jovem Pan. He became an editor in this station and worked with them for two years. He wrote under the pen name of Samuel Forte.

He used to read the work of several authors, such as Stephen King and Eiji Yoshikawa. He also says that it was not a specific book that made him decide becoming an author himself, but just the pleasure itself. When he would write his ideas, he would get impressed and enjoy the results, if he didn't write down his ideas it was almost like ghosts or creatures would surround and bother his mind.
