About the Author

Thana Niveau was born to the wail of the Wendigo and the whisper of warp engines. So, it's no surprise that her literary aspirations have combined both the mythic and the speculative, gaining her publication in Black Static, Interzone, and numerous anthologies. Her fiction has been reprinted in Best New Horror and she has garnered British Fantasy Award nominations for the best story and best collection along the way. America wasn't scary enough for her and so she moved to England's West Country, which is where her first novel, The House of Frozen Screams, is set. She is a Halloween bride, sharing her life with fellow writer John Llewellyn Probert, in crumbling gothic tower filled with arcane books and curiosities. And toy dinosaurs.
