About Morgan
|
"A dark but soft aesthetic." Morgan, a lover of monsters and vampires, writes about love, body horror, and hunger.
They published their first novel, Dove Keeper, in October 2018. Their specialties are horror, fantasy, and romance. They're inspired by speculative fiction writers like Angela Carter, Mary Shelley, Octavia Butler, Bram Stoker, Toni Morrison, Clive Barker, Ursula K. Le Guin, Anne Rice, and Neil Gaiman. Their genderbending contemporary fantasy novel Not Today Satan, a modern Faust adaptation about a woman who sells her soul to the Devil so he'll be her friend, will be published by Scarsdale Publishing. Morgan has been a fan of horror since they spent their class reading periods poring over Goosebumps rip-offs, Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, and Bunnicula. They thank their grandmother for traumatizing them with Jurassic Park and Alien at seven years old. As one of those "October 365/24/7" kinda folks, they're a huge fan of bats and black lipstick. Inspired by the oeuvre of Cradle of Filth, they've loved studying gothic and strange literature for years. Before they graduated with their BA in English, they worked as a social media coordinator for their university's writing center. They're a social media and web editor for Doubleback Press. In 2020, they earned their MA in professional writing with a main concentration in technical writing and a secondary concentration in creative writing. They live with their family, including a menagerie of dogs and cats. Note: Morgan's older works (Dove Keeper, Birds in a Cage, and Rabbit Heart) and most of their short works were published under a different name. |
