Melanie Pickering

Melanie Pickering writes urban gothic thrillers and dark cozy mysteries shaped by atmosphere, history, and the quiet strangeness of the everyday. A devoted cemetery wanderer, she draws inspiration from the places where memory clings to the landscape. She writes from her century‑old Brisbane home, where every creak, shadow, and flicker of light feels like a whisper from another time. It’s the perfect place to conjure stories steeped in mystery, longing, and the uncanny.
