Andrea Le Riche

Andrea Le Riche believes stories should haunt you. They should follow you into the dark, linger in your chest and demand you feel something you’d rather ignore.

Her stories do not live in the light. They wander through gothic halls and fractured hearts, across fantasies soaked in shadow and romances edged with ruin. Whatever the genre, her compass always points toward the dark, where survival claws into beauty and betrayal blooms into truth.
