Liz Kerin emerged in the horror genre with her 2019 debut, establishing a voice that blends vampire mythology with psychological horror and dysfunctional family dynamics. Her approach to horror emphasizes atmosphere and emotional dread over gore, creating tension through claustrophobic relationships and moral ambiguity. She treats classic horror tropes through contemporary lenses, examining how love can become monstrous and how caretaking can twist into captivity.
Her Night’s Edge series explores vampirism as both literal condition and metaphor for addiction and codependency, following characters trapped in damaging relationships with the undead. The Phantom Forest shifts to different horror territory while maintaining her focus on psychological terror and characters facing supernatural threats that mirror internal struggles. Kerin’s prose favors quiet dread and emotional horror over traditional scares.
