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.

A Voices through Time Story

An excerpt from The Perfect Shade of Haint Blue:
Learning to Heed Those Strange Warnings
Mark frowned, but a quick little thrill of excitement shot through his belly.
The change of pace and scenery was doing him a world of good, especially since he was considering coming right back to Virginia for college in a couple of years.
But he wouldn't mind a bit of mystery and adventure to spice things up.
"Did something strange happen there, Papaw? At the Hartsock place?"
"Well no, I can't exactly say that. It's just... I got an uneasy twinge about you going there is all."
Mark's father and everyone else in the family often talked about Papaw's twinges, and hunches, and notions, and even dreams. No one ever made much of a fuss about it that Mark could tell.
But they never mentioned thinking those twinges were something it was better to ignore, either.
