Kial Quaid

Kial Quaid (pronounced “Kyle”) is a speculative fiction and fantasy author at home in the borderlands of sci-fi and horror. 

Born in Aurora, Illinois, she now keeps her lair in Wisconsin’s mist‑laden Northwoods, where ancient pines whisper, the dark hums with possibility, and moonlight and glitter share a strangely potent magic.

She is the author of Accumulations and The Sound of Dry Rain, and is currently at work on her debut novel, Round and Round; a dark fantasy that spirals through pareidolia, fractured realities, and haunted small-town loops. Its genre-blurring elements allow for crossover appeal in adult fiction, literary horror, and eerie coming-of-age narratives, and marks her emergence as one of the defining fantasy voices of her generation.
