Author Information

Meg Hafdahl is a writer and cohost of the Horror Rewind podcast. Her female-driven horror fiction has been produced for audio by The Wicked Library. She is the author of Her Dark Inheritance, Daughters of Darkness, and the short story series Twisted Reveries. Meg lives in Minnesota with her husband, two young sons, and a menagerie of pets. Kelly Florence is a teacher, a mother, and a horror film lover. She is passionate about female representation in all media and particularly in the horror genre. Kelly teaches at Lake Superior College in Duluth, Minnesota, and produces and cohosts Horror Rewind. Darcey Rhoads is a Los Angeles-based American actor with uncanny comedic timing and a genuine love for the art of storytelling. Known best as that redhead girl who kept showing up on Joseph Gordon-Levitt's variety show, HitRecord, on Netflix, Darcey has appeared in numerous indie films and side projects that she has written and coproduced with her production team Mixed Nuts. Her voice has been described as droll, youthful, relatable, and maybe a tiny bit sarcastic. Darcey loves bringing YA stories to life, especially if there is a fantasy or science fiction element, and she has a soft spot for complicated, often misunderstood but highly redeemable characters. She is also a huge fan of fantasy/sci-fi, gamelit, romantic comedies, and dark humor. Outside of actor life, Darcey is basically a giant nerd-she loves gaming (console, board, D&D-you name it, she'll probably play it), is an avid pop culture know-it-all, and mother of cats . . . well, cat. She'll have her army of cats one day.
