Jaq Evans is a speculative fiction and horror author based out of Richmond, Virginia who also does digital stuff for climate nonprofit 350.org.

She grew up running feral in the Blue Ridge foothills, then spent over a decade in a state that’s famously bleak and spooky—and frankly, it shows.

Jaq earned an MFA in Popular Fiction from Stonecoast (University of Southern Maine). You can find their debut novel, WHAT GROWS IN THE DARK, out now from MIRA / HarperCollins.
