Brandy Schillace

BRANDY SCHILLACE is an autistic author, historian, mystery novelist, and editor. Having grown up in an underground house (next to a graveyard, in abandoned coal lands, with a pet raccoon) she spent her childhood reading about diseases and going to a lot of funerals. This led to an abiding interest in dead stuff, a PhD, and a career in science history--a likely thing to happen when one spends their formative years in a cemetery. Brandy writes at the intersections of history, mystery, and the weird.

MR. HUMBLE AND DR. BUTCHER–described by the New York Times as a “macabre delight”–gives you the true story of America's first head transplant. THE INTERMEDIARIES (2024), tells the forgotten history of the interwar Institute of Sexology in Berlin: trans activists, gender affirming surgeries, and the fight against Nazis. The nonfiction audible series THESE SIX THINGS CAN KILL YOU--is, well, pretty self-explanatory. Want Murder Mystery instead? THE FRAMED WOMEN OF ARDEMORE HOUSE features Jo Jones, a neurodivergent book editor who inherits a crumbling estate, a mysterious painting, and a dead body all in the same week. (By Wednesday, actually. Jo likes to be precise).

Brandy is represented by Jessica Papin of Dystel, Goderich & Bourret LLC.
