Darcy Coates



Darcy Coates is an Amazon bestseller and award-winning author. She loves haunted houses, ancient graveyards, mysteries and suspense - and her books reflect all of these passions.

She lives on the Central Coast of Australia. When she's not writing you can usually find her on a bushwalk, spending all day in the library or researching local urban legends.

Her favourite author is Stephen King, but she's also a fan of Shirley Jackson, Mark Z. Danielewski, Beth Massie and Barbara Michaels.

Darcy co-habitates with three cats and two humans. As much as she would like a fourth cat, she knows that would be treading dangerously close to crazy-cat-lady territory.

This Cursed House (2024)
Del Sandeen
"This Cursed House is a hauntingly beautiful story about how far we would go for family-both the living and the dead. An absolute must-read for fans of gothic horror."
thumb
Bitter is the Heart (2024)
Mina Hardy
"Bitter is the Heart is the kind of book that gets under your skin and leaves marks. The raw mother-daughter relationship and the steadily growing horror culminate into an unforgettable climax."
thumb
The Drowning House (2024)
Cherie Priest
"The Drowning House is deliciously eerie, atmospheric, and impossible to forget. The setting, the friends, and the washed-up house itself combine together to create one of this year's best horror stories."
