Marguerite Crosby was born in coastal Louisiana and grew up along the Gulf, where hurricane seasons and brackish marshes taught her to love eerie weather and stranger stories. She studied folklore and information science, then worked night shifts as an archivist in a maritime museum and as a stage manager for a fringe theater, jobs that fed her taste for ghost-lit rooms and unreliable catalogs. Her short fiction has appeared in small-press anthologies and literary journals, and she has taught community workshops on writing the uncanny. Crosby lives in Providence, Rhode Island, with a rescue cat and a wall of antique maps, and spends her weekends poking around lighthouses and used bookshops.
