Dolly Nightmare writes sweet fantasies laced with the horror of love—gothic monster romance that crawls beneath the skin and refuses to leave.

Her Nightmare novels wander through religious horrors, sharp-toothed werewolves, fiery dragons, sirens who croon dark lullabies, worlds that bend ordinary rules, strange anatomy, and things that should never exist.

An indie author who has never been interested in taking the ordinary path, Dolly writes intimate, unsettling, and unapologetically strange romances where monsters can be lovers, nightmares can become desires, and love can invade, consume, and rewrite the heart from the inside out ...more
