Bea Northwick is a lover of magical, spooky, and romantic things. She owns too much perfume, can’t pick an aesthetic, and loves 80s movies. She lives with her husband, children, dogs, and a black cat in the sunny American South where she dreams daily of Irish cottages and rain swept Scottish castles.

Praise for THE CRUEL DARK

"Northwick presents a dark love story that sparkles with elements of gothic horror and more modern romance as Millie explores the dark secrets hidden in Willowfield’s shadows..." - Kirkus Reviews

"This gothic is sumptuous, jolting, and occasionally—like Willowfield’s gardens—blooming with hope." BookLife

This dark, eerie fantasy makes it clear from the start that it’s impossible to hide from your des

The inspiration for this story came from my own love of Gothic Romance (both classic and pulp), but the need for something "more". I wanted more romantic/sexual tension that didn't just fizzle or fade to black (hence, the open-door aspects), and I also wanted just a touch more horror.

I love "tingles" - the romantic and the spooky kind - so I wrote a book that had both.

I plan to continue my "Romantically Spooky" storytelling! The next book coming up is more Gothic Romantasy. It'll have many of the aspects of a gothic - mystery, angsty romance, a haunting setting, but there'll be a splash of dark magic in the mix.

All in all, I believe that both love and life are beautiful but extremely difficult and sometimes terrifying. I hope to continue to weave those truths into my romances in exciting and thrilling ways.

I'm currently working on two separate projects - not sure which one will get to the finish line first. Either way, it'll be romance with a cozy dash of horror.(less)

Bea Northwick answered Carly's question: Bea Northwick
Blackwicket is the first book in a short series. In my opinion, there's room to enjoy it as a standalone, as the story that's being told in the first book very definitively ends, though Eleanora's overall journey does not.

A biased review.

I’m so thrilled to introduce to you Eleanora Blackwicket and her world of curses. It’s my greatest hope that, despite its darkness, you walk away from this story with some small portion of light tucked close.

Quotes by Bea Northwick  (?)

“Strange things bloom where grief lives.”
Bea Northwick, The Cruel Dark

“I think all of us who have had deep hurts in our life never escape the anger it inspires. It simply melds into the people we become, and sometimes takes the shape of something new and unexpected, like courage.”
Bea Northwick, The Cruel Dark

“To be favored is a worthwhile danger because it means that among the masses of mortal life, we’ve been singled out and are, in some way, special. That’s what most of us want, isn’t it? To not feel so small and inconsequential in this vast world.”
Bea Northwick, The Cruel Dark
