Kailee Pedersen writes haunted, unsettling speculative fiction. She graduated with a BA in classics from Columbia University, specializing in ancient Greek. Kailee was adopted from Nanning, China and grew up in Nebraska, where her family owns a farm. She is the author of the queer poetry chapbook Pastorale and the novel Sacrificial Animals, which was named one of the New York Public Library’s Best Books of 2024 and a finalist for Best Horror at the 2025 Libby Book Awards.

When not scribbling down her next book, you can catch her studying opera performance at the Mozarteum University, playing video games, or working as a software engineer in New York City. The Minimalist is her second novel. Visit her website at kaileepedersen.com.

Quotes by Kailee Pedersen  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“At dinner parties he might say, I'm from Nebraska, and you? With the smug self-indulgence of a man who is from somewhere but no longer inhabits it, has no longer any need of that place called Stag's Crossing that his father so carefully constructed for his sons”
Kailee Pedersen, Sacrificial Animals

“But now he has been thoroughly seduced by her suffering, her vulnerability. As men are attracted to a woman in pain. He envisions an affair extravagant and uncontrollable as the creek when it floods. A disastrous and untimely end to his family.”
Kailee Pedersen, Sacrificial Animals

“Time will destroy all these memories. In their forties there will be nothing here expect the easy and complacent amnesia of childhood.”
Kailee Pedersen, Sacrificial Animals
