About the Author
Julie Lew (she/they) loves all things fantasy and horror, the darker and queerer the better. Their adult gothic horror, THE WIVES OF HERRICK HALL, is forthcoming from Quill & Crow in May 2026, and their YA fantasy mystery, DEATH IN VERSE, will be published by Union Square & Co/Hachette later that year. When she’s not writing, she’s likely playing endless games of fetch with her chihuahua-terrier pup Kody. Julie is represented by Vicky Weber at Creative Media Agency.
