Amelia Gray (born August 17, 1982) is an American novelist and short story writer. She is the author of AM/PM (Featherproof Books), Museum of the Weird (Fiction Collective Two), THREATS (Farrar, Straus and Giroux), and Gutshot (Farrar, Straus and Giroux). In 2012, Gray was shortlisted for the PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction.[1]
The New York Times called Gray's stories "leaps of faith, brave excursions into the realms of the unreal."[2] while in the Los Angeles Times her style was defined as “akin to the alternately seething and absurd moods of David Lynch and Cronenberg.”[3] Of THREATS, NPR said "Amelia Gray's psychological thriller takes us to the brink between reality and delusion."
