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).

I had a feeling I was going to be obsessed with these stories directly after I finished the first piece, and I'm happy to report I was correct!

A Great Big Fuss is everything you could want in a short story collection: immersive and impeccable writing.

I'm insanely fond of how the overall tone is rooted in humor and the bonds people form (which varies from story to story!) A lot of the storie

“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.”

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.
