Autor

Autumn Krause is the critically acclaimed author of the YA novels A Dress for the Wicked (Harper), Before the Devil Knows You're Here (Peachtree Teen) and Grave Flowers (Walker Books). She's a gothic romantic at heart and loves spinning stories full of macabre magic. She was born and raised in Los Angeles, California, where her morbid imagination ran rampant - so much so that her parents became concerned and told her stop writing stories where everyone dies at the end. At sixteen, she got her first job at a bridal dress store. She continued to work as a bridal gown stylist for many years, eventually getting hired at an upscale Beverly Hills salon, which inspired her debut, A Dress for the Wicked. Most often, she can be found in Orange County, California, wearing a black lace dress while spending time with her husband and three children. Other times, she can be found out with lanterns in the tradition of Emily Dickinson, searching for herself and stories.

Rezensionen

A twisty plot in an intricately wrought world Grave Flowers is a romantic, botanical fever dream.
Hannah Whitten, New York Times bestselling author of The Foxglove King

A sumptuously dark tale of revenge and atonement that beautifully explores the ties both duty and family use to claim us. From the first page to the last, I was dazzled.
Erin A. Craig, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Thirteenth Child

If a book could take root and bloom, this one would. Brimming with wonder and treachery, love and magic, Grave Flowers is a beautiful and compelling garden of all the best delights fantasy has to offer.
Laura Taylor Namey, New York Times bestselling author of A Cuban

Girl s Guide to Tea and Tomorrow

Both frightening and enchanting. Grave Flowers blooms with atmosphere and viciously throned prose. Readers will find themselves swept away in this gorgeously gothic fairytale, complete with doomed lovers, ghostly ballrooms, and bloodthirsty flowers.
Skyala Ardnt, author of Together We Rot

Autumn Krause immerses us in this world so fully and forces us to care for these characters so deeply, that when betrayal inevitably comes, it feels visceral in its severity. Smart, twisty, and deliciously dark, with touches of sweetness in bloom, this story wrapped around my heart like clinging vines and holds it ransom even now.
Angela Montoya, author of A Cruel Thirst

Inspired by multiple Shakespeare plays and Tudor history, as addressed in an author s note, Krause (Before the Devil Knows You re Here) blends gothic fantasy and courtly intrigue into a story of love, betrayal, and power. Playful repartee turns electric as Madalina and Aeric fight a growing attraction.
