Keri Lake is an American author specialized in gothic romance and dark fantasy, known for her atmospheric, emotional style filled with unexpected twists. She is a USA Today bestselling author whose plots often focus on strong, complex heroines facing morally ambiguous antiheroes in worlds charged with tension and eroticism.
Graduated in science from Michigan State University, Keri finally decided to dedicate herself to her true passion: writing. She completed her first novel in 2008 and since then has published multiple titles ranging from paranormal romance to dark fantasy, including notable series like The Eating Woods, Nightshade, Juniper Unraveling, and standalone novels like Nocticadia and Infernium.
Her narrative often combines elements of horror, revenge, magic, and slow-burn romance, with a poetic and descriptive tone that creates immersive environments. She draws inspiration from authors like Anne Rice and classic tales of gothic horror and fantasy.
In addition to building fantastical and suspenseful worlds, Keri actively connects with her readers through a group of followers (“The Gothiphiles”), and shares personal details: she lives in Michigan, enjoys strong coffee, alternative music, dark chocolate, and accompanies her day with an occasional red wine.
Her most recent work includes Anathema, the first volume of The Eating Woods, a saga that mixes romance, dark magic, and environmental horror. She has also made an impact with Nocticadia, set in an academic environment with supernatural undertones. The emotional depth of her characters and atmospheric construction have consolidated her as a relevant voice in the landscape of contemporary gothic romance.
