Erin Banks

Erin Banks is a Northern German-born autistic author who began writing publicly on blogs such as CrimePiper, with a focus on true crime and criminal psychology.
Their nonfiction book Ted Bundy: Examining the Unconfirmed Survivor Stories—also translated into German—grew out of that interest.

Their debut novel, ABOUT RAGE, is a psychological horror drama centered on a female serial killer. It blends action-thriller pacing with forensic realism and emotionally charged, existential themes.
The book’s unnerving detail and psychological accuracy has led to some readers speculating that they are a serial killer who wrote it as a “duping delight diary.” (They’re not—unless the autistic meticulousness counts as a criminal offense.)
