Autorenporträt

Vera Blackthorne writes where silence meets circuitry. Little is known about herby choice. Her work blurs the boundaries between technology, theology, and human longing, crafting stories that breathe as much as they haunt. The Hive is her first full-length novel, a meditation on connection, empathy, and the quiet apocalypse of modern life. She prefers frost to fame and is said to live somewhere the air still listens.
