Rowan Sterling crafts compelling fiction that explores the complex depths of human nature, from psychological horror to epic fantasy. His debut collection, 'What Darkness Keeps,' weaves together tales of psychological transformation, supernatural entities, and the thin line between reality and madness. His fantasy debut, 'Crown of Ice and Fire,' ventures into political intrigue and forbidden romance in a world where magic and power collide. Born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, Sterling developed a deep connection to nature while exploring Georgia's national parks, which became both sanctuary and inspiration. This early immersion in natural spaces, combined with his fascination with the occult and foundation in dark poetry, shapes his distinctive voice across genres. Influenced by horror masters Richard Matheson, J.W. Ocker, Stephen King, and Edgar Allan Poe, as well as fantasy luminaries Sarah J. Maas, Cassandra Clare, and Lauren Kate, Sterling brings psychological depth and atmospheric tension to all his work. Whether examining how everyday spaces can become vessels for profound darkness or crafting intricate magical realms filled with complex romantic dynamics, his writing delves into the shadows that define us. With 'What Darkness Keeps' and 'Crown of Ice and Fire,' Sterling establishes himself as a versatile voice in speculative fiction, seamlessly moving between the terror of the familiar and the wonder of the fantastical.
