Mark Taylor nominated Eden Royce as an Indie Author who deserves appreciation and acknowledgement of her work. I am pleased to present this author a showcase blog post.
Author Bio:
Eden Royce is descended from women who practiced root, a type of conjure magic in her native Charleston, South Carolina. She’s been a bridal consultant, reptile handler, and stockbroker, but now writes dark fiction about the American South from her home in the English countryside.
Eden is the recipient of the Speculative Literature Foundation’s Diverse Worlds grant. She’s one of the founders of Colors in Darkness, a place for dark fiction authors of color, and a contributor to Graveyard Shift Sisters, dedicated to purging the black female horror fan from the margins.
Books:
Spook Lights 2: Southern Gothic Horror: “Y’all gather round for thirteen more tales of Southern Gothic horror: Boys find evil in their favorite sweet treat, a perfume shop that makes more than scents, a hurricane carries a mother’s vengeance, a conjure woman lies dying, unable to name a successor…
This is Gothic horror Southern style—shadowy rice fields, creatures that assume humanity at will—where even the most damaged and delicate have their power.”
Royce is now working on a novel based on one of most popular short stories in her first collection, Spook Lights.
