H.E. Edgmon did not sleep for several years and is now the author of copious novels and short works for tweens, teens, and adults. Their line-up includes The Witch King duology, the Ouroboros duology, and The Flicker, and their writing has been described as “monstrously thrilling, deeply emotional” by School Library Journal. Across genres, H.E. hopes to find readers in their darkest moments and help them start a fire. In their laughably limited free time, they’re likely hosting themed parties for no reason or trying to predict the future. They live in the Pacific Northwest, surrounded by chosen family and giant dogs.

"Edgmon dazzles in this supernatural mystery novel... A captivating fable of belonging and intergenerational trauma." — Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)

"This is not a heartwarming story about teens learning to set aside their differences and love one another. Each character is complicated, messy, and angry in their own way...The astounding beauty of the prose unnervingly normalizes the often gruesome content, folding the reader seamlessly into the mindsets of the teens who are far from recognizing their own severe trauma. The enthralling storytelling and deeply flawed characters make this a top choice for readers up for a challenge." — Booklist (Starred Review)

"Edgmon crafts horror with vivid imagery and an unknown, ominous threat. Meticulous plotting leads to a satisfying conclusion... Precise and cutting" — Kirkus

"This chilling, character-driven thriller has much to recommend it.. for fans of edgy supernatural thrillers who appreciate morally gray characters and ambiguity." — School Library Journal

“A book for every kid who may have had to run from home, and may still be trying to run from who they are. This rich, lyrical heartbreak of a story has some gristle in its teeth, and you’re going to love it." — Andrew Joseph White, New York Times Bestselling author

“Edgmon is back and better than ever with a sharp-fanged and tender-fleshed story of isolation and belonging, love and cruelty, and the double-edged knife of family. In dreamlike prose and haunting imagery, each child of the Caravan will crawl into your heart and make a home there. A brilliantly imagined, wholly original story I won't soon forget.” — Courtney Gould, author of Where Echoes Die
