Monica S. Kuebler first fell in love with monsters at age five. A few years later when most young girls were hooked on novels by Judy Blume and Beverly Cleary, and the Sweet Valley High series, she was reading Stephen King, Clive Barker and Dean Koontz. Horror, it seems, had made itself a home in her heart.

In 1996, she began a ten-year stint as a performance poet, which took her to stages as far abroad as New York, Chicago, San Francisco and London, England. During that time she authored four chapbooks and the co-wrote the 2002 poetry collection Some Words Spoken (with Cynthia Gould).

Since then, Monica has returned home to her horror roots. Currently, she spends her days as Managing Editor at Rue Morgue Magazine (www.rue-morgue.com) and her nights curating the genre line for Burning Effigy Press (www.burningeffigy.com), which will be adding YA titles to its lineup in 2011/2012. In what's left of her free time, she can usually be found furiously pounding away at her first YA horror novel (The Cold Ones) and second poetry collection (The Sick and the Beautiful).
