Speculations Event: Abby Andresen

On Wednesday September 13, Abby Andresen will be in the store reading from her work.

Abby Andresen started writing horror after discovering the work of Shirley Jackson, Patricia Highsmith, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, and other women writers of dark fiction. Since publishing her darkly comic novel, An Inappropriate Crush, in 2017, she has had stories published in several horror anthologies, most recently in Land of 10,000 Nightmares: Minnesota Tales of Terror by Glint Media. Before that she wrote articles and essays for several Minnesota publications, including Minneapolis/St Paul Magazine, and worked as a Minneapolis-based standup comedian. She tries to mix a little humor with her horror.
