ABOUT Karsten Knight

Karsten is known for writing books that feature mythologies from around the world. In 2011, Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers published his debut, Wildefire, the first in a trilogy about a reincarnated Polynesian volcano goddess. Since then, he has authored the historical thriller Nightingale, Sing, the time-bending murder mystery Patchwork, the mythological fantasy This Eternity of Masks and Shadows, and now channels his talent for terrifying readers into the Bonegarden.

Karsten studied creative writing at College of the Holy Cross and earned an MFA in writing for children from Simmons College. A lifelong resident of Massachusetts, he lives for fall New England weather—the perfect time of year for spooky stories.
