Kirstyn McDermott has been working in the darker alleyways of speculative fiction for much of her career.
She is the author of two award-winning novels, Madigan Mine and Perfections, along with two collections of short fiction, Caution: Contains Small Parts and Hard Places.
Her most recent book is the omnibus edition of Never Afters, a series of novellas that retell classic fairy tales, and her next novel is What the Bones Know.
Kirstyn holds a PhD in creative writing with a research focus on re-visioned fairy tales and lives in Ballarat with fellow writer Jason Nahrung and two distinctly non-literary felines, Mina and Lucy.

Kirstyn McDermott recommends
Little Digs (2020)
Lisa L Hannett
"Take a scruff of minotaur hair and a handful of mermaid scales, mix them with mothdust and the bloody feathers of a murdered oracle, and you might get a taste of the strange and dream-soaked magic that Lisa Hannett conjures with this remarkable debut collection. Bluegrass Symphony introduces a rare and original voice whose stories linger, dark and luscious and bold as tarnished brass, long after you have finished reading them."
