In less than a decade, Katherine Kerestman has established herself as a vibrant new voice in weird fiction. Drawing upon the classic work of Bram Stoker, H. P. Lovecraft, and others, she infuses her writing with lush, richly textured prose, a keen sensitivity to the strange and bizarre, and an ability to transform venerable motifs into something new and fresh.
Kerestman has made a specialty of the short-short story—a most difficult form to master. In this volume of more than thirty tales, sketches, and vignettes, she writes of vampires, witches, the mysterious antics of cats, and other spectral creatures that disrupt the fabric of our commonplace existence.
Houses, castles, and other dwellings are of particular fascination to Kerestman, and some of her most gripping tales are set in domiciles that should be havens of security for their occupants but prove to be very different, and very dangerous, places.
Katherine Kerestman is the author of the travel book Creepy Cat’s Macabre Travels (2020), the novella Lethal (2023), and the anthologies The Weird Cat (2023) and Shunned Houses (2024), both coedited with S. T. Joshi. She lives in Ohio.
