JUNIPER CADE

Dark romance. Gothic, folk horror, dark fantasy.

Juniper Cade writes dark romance across gothic, folk horror, and dark fantasy. Her stories are slow burns built on character and atmosphere—multilayered, patient, and built to sidestep the tropes the genre runs on. She's drawn to love that costs something, characters who refuse the easy choice, and dread that lives inside intimacy rather than outside it.

When her mother dies, Scylla inherits a coded journal she can't read alone. The only person on the island who might help her is the prickly demonology professor who'd rather she leave it buried.
