Kate Drexel writes horror—the kind where women fight back, fall for the wrong thing, or both at once. She doesn’t always know what kind of horror she’s writing until she’s already too deep in the draft to turn back. Yay for being a pantser.

​

Based in Lisbon, Portugal, Kate travels constantly, owns what others might call a concerning amount of books (she’ll read them eventually), and has a habit of wandering into tattoo studios because life is hard and she deserves stickers.

​

She writes for the queer, the angry, and anyone who has ever rooted for the monster—not because the hero wasn’t worth saving, but because after centuries of playing the villain, maybe the monster just got tired of the script and decided to rewrite it.

 

Good for her, honestly.
