Wendy Dalrymple

Wendy Dalrymple is a Florida-based author specializing in feminist horror and Gothic fiction, often blending elements of romance and nostalgia into her work. She has gained recognition for her contributions to the #pinkhorror subgenre, which explores themes of beauty within the grotesque. Among her notable works are the YA novella "Birthday Party Demon," the Florida Gothic novel "Credenza," and the body horror narrative "Bed Rot Baby," which examines self-image through a 21st-century lens. Her upcoming slasher novel, "Killer Summer," pays homage to classic teen horror films.

Dalrymple's writing frequently draws inspiration from her Florida surroundings, infusing her stories with regional atmosphere and dark, evocative themes. Her independent and small-press publications showcase a distinctive voice that merges feminist perspectives with horror tropes. Beyond writing, she enjoys outdoor activities with her family and cultivates pineapples, reflecting her connection to the natural world. Her work continues to resonate with readers who appreciate horror that balances visceral thrills with deeper societal commentary.
