About Me

I'm drawn to stories about the vulnerable edges of the oppressive status quo, to tricksters, and to the quiet, dawning horror of realising that the monster wasn't what you thought it was.

Welcome to my little corner of the web. You can catch up with me on Bluesky or check out my blog and subscribe to the newsletter for updates.

Bio

Kaiden Alderling is an author, poet, and chronically ill rock climber who developed a fascination with the light-up lures on anglerfish as a child, when his night terrors made him very curious about all the teeth. He has a keen interest in Gothic fiction, censorship, surveillance technology, and the process of how people change their minds. His work has been published by Zoetic Press, and he can be found wandering the mountains near his home in Calgary, Canada, or on his blog, Edge of Monstrosity at alderling.com.
