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; when they're not personal, her poems are speculative in nature. Her fiction mainly falls under the Horror- and Fantasy-umbrellas, in which queer characters haunt the narrative. She loves everything fantastical and fanged!

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).

The dread in Rabbit Blind is quite literally inescapable until the very last page; that feeling of wrongness is strong enough to make a person flinch.

And finding out exactly what was wrong—a punch to the gut.

"I've been a fan of Megan's writing for a long time now and here's two reasons why...

This is a quick-read story, though from my experience it will linger with you long after you finish reading. Though the tale is fictitious and not a memoir, the author did interject pieces of her own childhood into it to flesh out" Read more of this review »

What struck me most about The Foofs (2025): Best of Strange Fiction is how creative every piece is—from flash fiction to novelette, all the concepts were amazingly weird and a pleasure to experience!

“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

“... our whole task’s to hack
some angel-shape worth wearing ...”
― 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

“Farther out, the waves will be mouthing icecakes— A poor month for park-sleepers and lovers. Even our shadows are blue with cold. We wanted to see the sun come up And are met, instead, by this iceribbed ship, Bearded and blown, an albatross of frost, Relic of tough weather, every winch and stay Encased in a glassy pellicle.
