Kim Liggett writes YA fiction that leans into horror and dark subject matter. Her first series, Blood and Salt, began in 2015 with a novel about a teenage girl drawn to a mysterious cult with occult roots. Heart of Ash (2018) continued the story. Between the two Blood and Salt books, she published The Last Harvest (2017), a standalone horror novel.
Her breakout came with The Grace Year (2019), a dystopian novel about a community that sends its teenage girls into the wild for a year, believing they carry a dangerous power that must be purged. The book earned comparisons to Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale and became Liggett’s most widely read work. The Unfortunates (2018), published the year before, also dealt with dark themes in a YA setting. Across her five books, Liggett has built a reputation for fiction that takes the fears of adolescence and gives them teeth.
