Maeve Grimsley

Maeve Grimsley writes visceral, gothic-leaning horror where family secrets curdle into curses and love becomes the scariest allegiance.

Bio

Grimsley’s background in restoration architecture fuels her obsession with decaying mansions and the histories embedded in walls. Her narratives revel in sensory detail—dust, candlewax, storms—and in characters who bargain with the supernatural for a second chance. She studies regional dialects to give every voice a distinct edge.

Current focus: a gothic thriller about siblings renovating their ancestral home only to find the house is renovating them back.
