SFF & horror author who writes stories for queer and trans readers who want to chew on something weird and evocative.

Hi there! I'm Oleander Craw (they/he), a writer of science fiction, fantasy and horror. My work often revolves around themes of identity and power, featuring complex and flawed queer characters with a focus on queer masculinity. I'm a big fan of examining the monstrous while getting weird with it.

I have always enjoyed stories that aren't afraid to meander into a dark and weird place, that illuminate the monstrous, and leave me irrevocably changed by the time I've closed the book. My goal is to self publish the stories that I have always wanted to see.

When I'm not writing I can be found lurking around the New England area of the US currently or devoting my time to my ever growing garden. I also enjoy lifting very heavy things and putting them back down repeatedly.
