About the Author
A voice shaped by New York, family history, fantasy, and the macabre.
V. I. Hutchinson was born and raised in the Bronx, is a first-generation American with Filipino and Jamaican roots, and now lives in South Florida. Her writing is drawn to emotional contrast: tenderness against dread, warmth against the uncanny, intimacy against distance.
The work is informed by a lifelong love of the written word and by writers such as Edgar Allan Poe, J. R. R. Tolkien, Toni Cade Bambara, George Orwell, Stephen King, Zora Neale Hurston, and Agatha Christie.
