Kathleen Jennings is an Australian writer and illustrator whose fiction sits in the space between fairy tales and literary horror. Her work is rooted in the Australian landscape, particularly the rural Queensland settings that give her stories a distinctive sense of place unlike anything in European-flavored fantasy.
Her novella Flyaway won widespread praise for its mix of family mystery and dark folklore. Jennings’ background as an illustrator shows in her prose, which is rich in visual detail without being overwrought. She has also published short fiction in a range of speculative fiction venues and anthologies.
