About the Author
Vivian Shaw wears too many earrings and likes edged weapons and expensive ink, and, as an expat Brit born in Kenya, is not actually
from anywhere. She has a BA in art history, an MFA in creative writing and publishing arts, and makes jewelry on the side. She writes about monsters, both in and out of classic horror literature; medicine, in its many forms; machines, extant and fantastical; disasters and their causes; and, perhaps most importantly, found family. She is the author of the Dr. Greta Helsing contemporary fantasy series and the sci-fi/horror novella
The Helios Syndrome (Lethe Press). She reviews for the
Washington Post and her short sci-fi/horror fiction has appeared in
Uncanny, Pseudopod, and
The Deadlands. She lives in Santa Fe with her wife, the Hugo-Award-winning author Arkady Martine.
