Seanan McGuire

Seanan McGuire

Seanan McGuire is a name that resonates with readers of urban fantasy, horror, and science fiction, known for her deep explorations into the dark and strange corners of the world. But while many recognize her for her October Daye and InCryptid series, Seanan’s literary prowess extends far beyond her most famous works. Under the name Mira Grant, she delves into gripping dystopias and terrifyingly believable horror with a touch of speculative brilliance. As A. Deborah Baker, she ventures into the whimsical and profound, creating rich, layered worlds that ask the reader to think deeply while being swept away in adventure.

Born and raised in Northern California, Seanan’s love for storytelling began early, with a childhood full of fantasy novels and a passion for role-playing games. That interest eventually blossomed into a career that spans genres and shows no sign of slowing down. She first burst onto the scene with the October Daye series, which blends urban fantasy with rich mythological underpinnings, offering a world filled with creatures, magic, and politics, all wrapped in the character of a fierce and witty protagonist.
