Bio

Darja Malcolm-Clarke's work has appeared in Clarkesworld and is forthcoming in Fantasy Magazine, Ideomancer, and Greatest Uncommon Denominator. She holds master’s degrees in Folklore and in English, and is a Ph.D. candidate in the latter at Indiana University.  In her academic work she studies monstrosity and 'the grotesque' in relation to gender in speculative fiction, and these preoccupations often find their way into her fiction.  She attended Clarion West in 2004.  She lives in Bloomington, Indiana, where there are many thunderstorms, which suits her just fine. 

She is currently writing a novel tentatively titled A Map to Dig By.
