A Thousand Monstrous Forms. Their books have been featured in Variety, People magazine, Cosmopolitan, and Glamour, and their writing has appeared in Writer’s Digest, CrimeReads, and more. Originally from Brooklyn, Schaefer now lives upstate with several needy animals and a haunted clown table.
At CrimeReads the author tagged five "horror books that thrill in keeping their characters (and story) isolated." One title on Schaefer's list:
Caitlin Starling, The Starving SaintsRead about another entry on the list.
Three women trapped in a castle under siege contend with divine figures modeled after their saints who infiltrate and twist salvation until it’s something unrecognizable. As the castle descends into madness, cannibalism, and violence, the main characters must fight to survive these false gods while being physically stuck in a location they cannot escape.
Taut, queer as hell, and horrifically enchanting, The Starving Saints traps its characters not only physically but mentally as well. You’ll bite your nails to the quick in this claustrophobic and surreal historical horror.
--Marshal Zeringue
