Megan Diedericks writes poetry and fiction, everything from meek to macabre can be found in between the lines.

Her poetry explores themes of mental health and self-reflection, and when they're not personal—her poems are speculative in nature. The main genres she writes fiction in are Horror, Fantasy, and something akin to Science Fiction. Her work has been published in over 30 journals and presses, both online and in print!

The 2025 Rhysling Award Nominee is the author of two books: "The Coffin Chronicles" (Island of Wak-Wak, 2025) and "the darkest of times, the darkest of thoughts" (self-published, 2022).

From poems to retellings to epistolary tales, this book carries an incredible variety of prose. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll gasp.

"SPOILER-FREE REVIEW:
I was excited as soon as I opened this book and looked at the Table of Contents, because I recognized a handful of authors whose work I’ve enjoyed in the past! That’s always a bonus when I am reading an anthology.

What strikes me most (not just my excitement over a longer issue from Foofaraw Press) is how everything in Mindlessly Massive (2026) is transportational. You will get sucked in by each and every single piece of writing: fiction, review, or otherwise. ...more

“tread lightly when you read my words,
as they are swords
that will render you helpless.
i must confess:
my own honesty
scares me sometimes.”
Megan Diedericks, the darkest of times, the darkest of thoughts

Sylvia Plath, The Collected Poems

“In life, love gnawed my skin To this white bone; What love did then, love does now: Gnaws me through.”
Sylvia Plath, The Collected Poems

“There sits no higher court
Than man’s red heart.”
Sylvia Plath, The Collected Poems

“Burdened in such a way we seemed the lighter—
Ourselves the haunters, and they, flesh and blood;
As if, above love’s ruinage, we were
The heaven those two dreamed of, in despair.”
Sylvia Plath, The Collected Poems
