About the Author

A veteran bookseller and librarian, Courtney Alameda now spends her days writing speculative fiction novels, short stories, and comics. Her debut novel, Shutter, was nominated for a Bram Stoker Award and hailed as 'a standout in the genre' by School Library Journal. Since then, she's wandered the universe with far-future archaeologists (Pitch Dark), racked up some retribution (Sisters of Sorrow), and recruited death gods with a Shinto priestess (Seven Deadly Shadows, forthcoming)...and those are just the adventures she can currently tell you about.
