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 Journey of Desperation and Hope
Thora's world changed in ten short years. From the promise of safe genetic modifications to a vicious disease wiping out billions.
Now she and other GenMods hide themselves, fighting to survive in a failing landscape.
Then Thora and her huge GenMod cats take a chance that might change everything.
An excerpt from Survivors of the Malance:
A Chance for Survival, or the End of Everything
Thora took a deep breath, forcing herself to stay calm. She caught a strong whiff of how scared these two were on the breeze. And that there were several more frightened humans not far behind them.
"There are only seventeen of us," she said. "I'm by far the oldest, so I volunteered to come out here to try to find you. We're not going to make it through another winter, not even with the cats helping us hunt."
Gun-woman shrugged, shaking her head.
But Thora was sure a frown of concern crossed the unarmed woman's face.
"Listen, I understand why you don't want us around," Thora said. "But we didn't make the modifications, you have to know that. Our grandparents and parents did it, and some of them didn't even want us after we were born. A few of the kids with me were abandoned after they didn't come out matching specifications. Even these huge cats can't make it without us."
