I’m Beatrix Hollow, author of more than 15 published books. I write horror romances with teeth—rotting, obsessive, and psychologically unwell. My stories blend dark humor with twisted intimacy, featuring charming psychopaths and mental unraveling as foreplay. I like dark settings (asylums, haunted caves, abandoned lighthouses) and heart-pounding plots. Other common themes:
-
Dark feminism. The female leads stalk, kill, and go insane.
-
Monsters (cryptids, demons, vampires—oh my!).
-
Serial killers & stalkers (us deranged individuals need a little acceptance on page too).
-
Forbidden romance (step bros, professors, therapists, & more)
I'm an ex psych student who decided fiction was most definitely the better direction to go. I studied psychology and creative writing in university and am currently pursuing an MFA in creative writing. One day, I hope to teach what I love to do.
I currently live in East Texas in a swampy compound complete with shipping container offices and a shiny Airstream where I lay my head. I'm often found feeding an army of hyperactive squirrels, raccoons, feral one-eared cats, rat snakes (unintentionally), and one opossum.
I collect furbies and am a clown enthusiast (whatever that means). I’m feminist, queer, a secular Buddhist, struggle with mental illness, and am neurodivergent.
