Critics Review
“A delight, delivering the kind of cathartic and justified female rage I crave … Shannon Ives weaves lyrical prose that catches the attention and never lets go.”—Gabriela Romero Lacruz, #1 Sunday Times bestselling author of The Sun and the Void

“This lush, visceral debut is a queer form of time travel.”—Eilish Quin, author of Medea
Shannon Ives
Shannon Ives writes from the deep, dark woods of Vermont. She graduated with honors from the University of Iowa with a BA in anthropology and a minor in Latin. Her studies focused on myth, religion, and magic-themes that she continues to explore in her writing. Her work strives to capture the beauty in the grotesque and how traditional power structures perpetuate violence. More often than not, you’ll find her characters behaving badly; they are monsters, after all. Those Fatal Flowers is her debut novel.
