About me
Ally Wilkes is the author of ALL THE WHITE SPACES (Atria/Titan, 2022), the upcoming WHERE THE DEAD WAIT (Atria/Titan, 2023) and JAMIE HALLOW AND THE END OF THE WORLD (Cemetery Gates, 2023). Her short fiction has been published in magazines including Nightmare, and anthologies including FOUND & the upcoming DARKNESS BECKONS.
ALL THE WHITE SPACES is a nominated title in the 'Superior Achievement in a First Novel' category, and Ally is delighted to be at her first major horror convention. She's a British author who's particularly interested in LGBTQIA horror, historical horror, social media, and current trends.
Ally grew up in a succession of isolated—possibly haunted—country houses and boarding schools in England. After studying law at Oxford, she went on to spend eleven years as a criminal barrister, learning how extreme situations bring out the best (or worst) in human nature. Ally now lives in Greenwich, London, with an anatomical human skeleton and far too many books about Polar exploration. When she isn't writing or reading horror, she's usually to be found hanging upside-down (like a bat) from her aerial silks.
