Ryan La Sala grew up in Connecticut, but only physically. Mentally, he spent most of his childhood in the worlds of Sailor Moon and Xena: Warrior Princess, which perhaps explains all the twirling. He studied Anthropology and Neuroscience at Northeastern University before becoming a project manager specialized in digital tools. He technically lives in New York City, but has actually transcended material reality and only takes up a human shell for special occasions, like brunch, and to watch anime (which is banned on the astral plane). Reverie is Ryan's debut novel. You can visit him at ryanlasala.com.

Ryan La Sala recommends
thumb
Girls Who Play Dead (2025)
Joelle Wellington
"Wellington is a remarkable voice in YA horror, and she pulls no punches with GIRLS WHO PLAY DEAD. Addictively unnerving, Wellington's writing deftly burrows right into the cracks of this small town's foundation, revealing the gruesome truth at its core."
thumb
Two Sides to Every Murder (2024)
Danielle Valentine
"A must-read for fans of true crime, dark family secrets, and intricate mysteries."
thumb
The Bad Ones (2024)
Melissa Albert
"Unholy, vengeful, and utterly captivating. The Bad Ones delivers on Melissa Albert's status as a modern horror master, and burns with a steady, corrosive clarity, not unlike a developing photograph revealing unseen evils."
