Author Showcase

T. Kingfisher (AKA Ursala Vernon)

known for writing smart, subversive fantasy and horror that blends sharp humor with emotional depth and unsettling twists. Under the T. Kingfisher name, her books range from cozy-yet-dark fairy-tale retellings to gothic horror and inventive adult fantasy, often featuring practical heroes, flawed relationships, and quietly profound themes. Her stories stand out for their wit, compassion, and willingness to explore fear, grief, and resilience without losing warmth or accessibility. Whether eerie or whimsical, Kingfisher’s work consistently delivers fresh takes on classic genres.
