About The Author – Lyra Meurer

Appears In:
Summer of Speculation: Villains (2022)

Lyra Meurer has wanted to be a writer since they were a stream-wading, story-inventing child. Now they restlessly pursue that dream in Colorado, where they live with their husband, pet rats, and overflowing collections of journals and books. When they’re not writing, they can be found down the Wikipedia rabbithole or sitting in a sunbeam like a lizard. You can find more of their short fiction, which spans speculative fiction and horror, in Night Terror Novels’ anthology This is Not A Horror Story, Twenty-two Twenty-eight, Tree & Stone, and Cosmic Horror Monthly.

Lyra’s contemplations on insect body horror, the things they find on sidewalks, and other bizarre phenomena, along with pictures of their rats and doodles, can be found at https://lyrameurer.blogspot.com/ or at their Twitter, https://twitter.com/LyraMeurer
