Genoveva Dimova is a fantasy author and archaeologist. Originally from Bulgaria, she now lives in Scotland with her partner and a small army of houseplants. She believes in writing what you know, so her work often features Balkan folklore, the immigrant experience, and protagonists who get into incredible messes out of pure stubbornness. When she's not writing, she likes to explore old ruins, climb even older hills, and listen to practically ancient rock music.
"Praise for Foul Days: ""Sharply written, utterly imaginative, by turns terrifying and hopeful--a wonderful read.""--New York Times bestselling author Lilith Saintcrow ""Charming, wry, and emotionally resonant. Dimova's propulsive, assured prose captures a fresh, gritty world bursting with wonderful characters--and monsters galore! Get ready to meet your new favorite supernatural crime-busting duo.""--Allison Saft, New York Times bestselling author of A Far Wilder Magic ""There's no safety when the Foul Days come for you: this book will drag you in and not let you go until dawn.""--Marie Brennan, award-winning author of A Natural History of Dragons ""Foul Days is a fast-paced murder mystery in a Balkan-inspired fantasy world where your ex can be a literal monster. Charming, clever, and compulsively readable, this debut is wholly original and monstrously fun.""--Rebecca Schaeffer, author of the Market of Monsters series ""A sure-footed, swift-paced race against time, Foul Days brings Slavic folklore to terrifying life. This is a brilliant modern fantasy that's not afraid to show its teeth.""--Ed McDonald, author of The Redwinter Chronicles ""Foul Days is an incredible story filled with monsters and magic which deserves not only to be read, but savored."" --Maelan Holladay, author of The Storm Gathers ""A fast-paced thrill ride with immersive worldbuilding and a snarky but realistic main character who you just can't help but root for."" --Frances White, author of Voyage of the Damned ""Foul Days is a phenomenal blend of danger and delight from an exciting new voice in fantasy. The characters, the world, the magic, and the monsters are all compelling, but the deft way in which Dimova brings them all to life while weaving in heavier themes of classism and abuse will leave you breathlessly awaiting the sequel long before you reach that final page."" --Kamilah Cole, author of So Let Them Burn"
