About the author

Jacquelyn Gilmore writes dark speculative fiction about villain-coded characters, impossible choices, and the emotional cost of survival. Her books span dark fantasy and dystopian sci-fi, but are united by the same obsessions: morally black characters, dangerous relationship dynamics, psychological intensity, and stories that explore what happens when survival demands monstrosity. With over a decade of professional writing experience and a bachelor’s degree in English literature, Gilmore crafts stories that lure readers into terrifyingly beautiful realms where antiheroes thrive, and every choice carries a cost.

When she isn’t writing, Gilmore lives in Austin, Texas, with her husband and dog, Finn, constantly dreaming up new terrifying worlds and the villains who rule them.
