Johanna van Veen writes gothic horror with a distinctly European sensibility, drawing on folklore, isolation, and the particular horror of intimate relationships gone wrong. Her debut, My Darling Dreadful Thing, announced her as a writer with a confident grip on atmosphere and a willingness to go to uncomfortable places.
Her output since has continued in a similar vein, with Blood on Her Tongue and Bone of My Bone showing a writer who is developing her themes rather than repeating herself. She also wrote a picture book, which suggests a broader range of interests even if her most notable work stays within dark literary fiction. Readers drawn to authors like Silvia Moreno-Garcia or early Sarah Waters will likely find her work rewarding.
