Author bio:

Melissa Dominic is a writer, mapmaker, and historian of places that don’t exist. She is twenty-seven years old and lives in a retirement community just north of Miami, Florida. She likes all manners of things falling apart and decayed, blood, guts, and gore and cold city streets. She likes rampant emotions, disillusions of the future, and the sound of insects in the night. She has a horror writer for a girlfriend, who she hears is pretty good.
