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 Beware a Dancing Mother-in-Law:
The Truth Dances Right Past Her Suspicions
I finally got curious. And suspicious.
And worried that I was going nuts.
Until the assisted living called and said Fran was dancing again.
Humming up a storm, grinning. Dancing all around her room, and up and down the hallways, too. She even danced all around the cafeteria before settling down to have her lunch.
I was so fixated on proving myself wrong that I grabbed Andy by the arm the second he got home.
We headed for the assisted living, with him staring at me wide-eyed from the passenger seat the whole way while I told him what I was starting to think.
Bless his heart, he listened to me the whole time without laughing or shaking his head or telling me I was indeed going nuts. I didn't even mind that he didn't say anything at all. I'm sure he didn't believe me. But I was grateful he didn't say so out loud.
I'd imagine he's grateful too. Now.
