The writer
Keke Sharice
“I’ve always been more interested in the monsters hiding inside our homes than the ones outside them.”
Keke Sharice is the pen name of a domestic psychological thriller author who believes the most terrifying stories happen inside four walls — behind closed doors, in whispered conversations, in the silence between people who once knew each other.
My thrillers are domestic and psychological — set in the kind of houses where everything looks fine from the outside. They center women: complex, fractured, sometimes unreliable, always fully human. The secrets they keep aren’t dramatic. They’re the kind you bury so deep you almost forget they’re there. Almost.
I write for women who read past midnight, who know that the most unsettling stories are the ones that feel just a little too familiar. Who understand that “I would never do that” is often the most comfortable lie we tell ourselves.
Beyond the fiction, I create resources for writers who want to go to the dark places — because I know how hard it is to find craft advice that doesn’t ask you to make your work safer, softer, more palatable.
This brand exists for the readers and writers who believe that dark fiction, done with intention, is some of the most honest literature there is.
