Rou Tessier is a gothic fiction author whose work explores the haunted corners of dread, longing, and the uncanny. When not conjuring cursed bloodlines or candlelit betrayals, Rou finds creative solace in painting moody portraits, the discipline of ballet, and wandering through unfamiliar cities in search of forgotten stories. The devoted company of two loyal dogs keep watch as Rou writes into the night, crafting tales that linger like perfume in a locked room. You can sign up to get updates about their writing here.
