Kari Kilgore started her first published novel Until Death in Transylvania, Romania, and finished it in Room 217 at the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado, where Stephen King got the idea for The Shining. That’s just one example of how real world inspiration drives her fiction.
Kari’s first published novel Until Death was included on the Preliminary Ballot for the Bram Stoker Award for Outstanding Achievement in a First Novel in 2016. It was also a finalist for the Golden Stake Award at the Vampire Arts Festival in 2018.
Recent professional short story sales include three to Fiction River anthology magazine, with the first due out in the September issue. Kari also has two stories in a holiday-themed anthology project with Kristine Kathryn Rusch due out over the holidays in 2019.
Kari writes fantasy, science fiction, horror, and contemporary fiction, and she’s happiest when she surprises herself. She lives at the end of a long dirt road in the middle of the woods with her husband Jason Adams, various house critters, and wildlife they’re better off not knowing more about.
Kari’s novels, novellas, and short stories are available at www.spiralpublishing.net, which also publishes books by Frank Kilgore and Jason Adams.

An excerpt from An Overdue Truce:
Digging Out the Toxins of the Past
The truth was Sean had always quietly wondered why his mother didn't get the house, or any kind of spousal support that anyone knew of. She never actually talked about it, but Sean knew she hadn't minded if people believed his father was just too cheap. Or that she'd refused his help.
Sean figured then and now he just didn't understand.
Brad figured their father had done something to weasel out of it.
With both parents gone now and himself nearly into his fifties, the time for waiting and wondering had surely come to an end.
Before another fifteen minutes passed, Sean had his phone out again.
"Hey Brad, Sean here. ... Yeah, I'm at Dad's. I think you should come over. ... No, not to help clean up, don't worry. There's some things here you need to see."
