Teagan Olivia King grew up in Michigan's wild Upper Peninsula but traded in the stormy shores of Lake Superior for the wind-beaten sandbars of Lake Huron. She holds a degree in Creative Writing from Northern Michigan University and is the author of several works of short horror fiction. She lives in an old farmhouse with her beloved, a rescue pup named Remus, a black cat named Chester, who may or may not harbor the soul of some long-dead deity, and probably some ghosts.
“Beautiful and impossibly filled with the stench of stagnant water and loamy earth, Spit Back the Bones is a slurry of pain, rage, and hope. In her haunting debut, King exposes the horrors of coming home to the ghosts we never really bury and the pervasive rot of regret.” —Tanya Pell, author of Her Wicked Roots and Cicada “Gruesomely romantic, Spit Back the Bones pulls you in as surely as the bog does. Gripping, ethereal, and ultimately hopeful.” —Hannah Whitten, New York Times bestselling author of For the Wolf ""Emotional and atmospheric, Spit Back the Bones is dripping in heady bog water. You'll never look at black flies the same way again.” —Saratoga Schaefer, author of Serial Killer Support Group and Traditional Wife “Spit Back the Bones is at once grotesque and hauntingly beautiful, exploring grief, rage, love, and of course, power—those who take it, and those who reclaim it. A monstrous debut that yanks at the heartstrings so well it hurts."" —Amanda Linsmeier, author of Starlings and Six of Sorrow
