Marina Cohen grew up in Scarborough, Ontario, where she spent far too much time asking herself what if? In elementary school, her favorite author was Edgar Allan Poe. She loved "The Tell-Tale Heart" and aspired to write similar stories. She is attracted to the fantastical, the bizarre, and all things eerie. Her previous novels, including The Inn Between, The Doll's Eye, and A Box of Bones, have been nominated for numerous awards in the United States and Canada. Visit her at MarinaCohen.com.
