Celeste Sutton

Celeste Sutton writes southern fiction with witchy wonder for readers who crave stories with heart.

Her love affair with strange, haunted tales began early—in the enchanted adventures of Edward Eager, the Southern classics of Flannery O’Connor, and the dragon-haunted skies of Pern. More recently, she’s drawn to stories that blur edges—Gillian Flynn’s sharp psychological turns, Jesmyn Ward’s lyrical South, and Karin Slaughter's pairing of gorgeous character development with harrowing tales of evil.

If you’ve ever felt like an outsider in your own hometown, or if you keep glancing at the edge of the woods wondering what stirs there—Celeste's books are for you.
