Alexis Henderson is a Goodreads Choice Award finalist and author of The Year of the Witching and House of Hunger. Her third novel, An Academy for Liars, is forthcoming. The New York Times has likened Alexis to ‘a modern-day Anne Rice’ and she’s received glowing endorsements from authors like Tamora Pierce, Alix E. Harrow and Hannah Whitten, among others.
‘House of Hunger’s Dickensian plot and gorgeous Victorian steampunk setting make it a pleasure to read. Like a modern-day Anne Rice, Henderson has a gift for creating a world engorged with desire and death.’—The New York Times
‘The Year of the Witching tells a universal, timeless story about women’s power.’—O, the Oprah magazine
‘Breathlessly paced and dripping with Gothic decadence, Henderson’s second novel (after The Year of the Witching) cements her status as one of horror’s best new voices.’—Publishers Weekly
Alexis enjoys writing dark stories that straddle the hazy boundary between horror and fantasy. Her work balances speculative elements with real world issues and universal themes like grief, class, and questions of identity. She loves immersive stories that enchant, thrill, and subvert expectations. When Alexis isn’t writing, you can find her hanging out with her cats, browsing antique shops, or drinking tea.
‘I’m a dark, speculative fiction author who loves writing stories about complicated, intense, and sometimes violent women. Books often come to me in my dreams.’
