Dawn Kurtagich is the award-winning author of several YA horror novels, including her acclaimed debut The Dead House, as well as And the Trees Crept In (The Creeper Man), Teeth in the Mist, Blood on the Wind, and her first adult novel, The Madness.

The daughter of a British globe-trotter, Kurtagich grew up all over the world, but her formative years were spent in Africa—on a mission, in the bush, in the city, and in the desert. She leaves her North Wales crypt after midnight during blood moons. The rest of the time, she exists somewhere between mushrooms, maggots, and mold.
