Media bio

Gigi Griffis is the author of the Netflix tie-in novel The Empress and creepy YA horror The Wicked Unseen (2023), We Are The Beasts (2024), and And The Trees Stare Back (2025), among other things. She’s a sucker for little-known histories, “unlikable” female characters, and all things Europe. After almost ten years of semi-nomadic life, she now lives in Portugal with an opinionated Yorkie-mix named Luna and a collection of very nerdy books.

Gigi’s work has been translated into 19+ languages, and she has been featured in Teen Vogue, Netflix Tudum, The New York Times, Noble Blood, Salon, Gay Times, and more.
