Lydia E. Penrose

Lydia E. Penrose is an author of dark paranormal romance and horror. When she isn’t writing, she usually spends time running D&D campaigns, editing anthologies or unsuccessfully convincing her three cats to tolerate her attention.

Her stories feature haunted romances, demonic love interests, and creeping psychological horror. She is drawn to characters who find themselves tempted by darkness rather than running from it. There is nothing she loves more than an unhinged MMC, a trait readers will find in her upcoming dark why choose romance, A Love so Mean.

Alongside her fiction, Lydia edits and curates anthologies, including Love Drips Red on Dunwich End and a collection reimagining Irish folklore through horror featuring stories written by Irish authors.
