"Never have I before read such words to myself, words of such power and beautiful darkness-ones that express such longing, or such horror, evoking such imagery...."

-Liriel McMahon, The Vampire Research Institute

This is just one of the countless renowned quotes spoken about her.

Kim Elizabeth, award-winning author and poetess of the macabre, christened by the NY Press as the "Princess of Horror," has a voice unlike any other.

"Kim Elizabeth is a majestic presence, with a refined and unique writing style that is all her own. She has got a transcendent and deeply disturbing morbid element that likens to the genius of Poe and the mystique and terror of Lovecraft, all the while illuminating her Hadean darkness with the poetic profoundness and sheer beauty of Keats...."

-Thomas Casey
Professor of English Literature

Kim Elizabeth, extraordinary writer and beautiful Swedish model, lives and dreams in New York City. Kim has a diverse and eclectic background in classical music, violin and piano, modern dance, ballet, gymnastics, poetry and prose, English literature and quantum physics.

Elizabeth's literary work ranges through a wide spectrum which embraces horror, deeply of metaphysical as well as psychological-terror ex anima-nature, dark fantasy, vampirism, gothic lure, necromancy, mysticism/cabalistic transmutations, paranormal phenomenon, theoretical physics/hyperspace, astronomy/cosmos/nature, spirituality/new age, science fiction, mythology, social/humanistic works and comedy, much of which is dark and satirical, unorthodox and definitely offbeat.

A child prodigy, Kim began unfolding her artistic talents early on, writing poetry at the tender age of 5 and rendering classical euphonies not long thereafter. The youthful author, published at age 12, emerged onto the writing scene as a teenager exhibiting her extraordinary talent with her first book, MYSTICAL EYES, published overseas. Noted reviewer for the UK Press, Richard Ball, stated, in her very first book review, "The elusive images of darkness and strangeness come through eerily; I sense Edgar Allan Poe's genius in her poetry … beyond. This young lady is going to go very far."

Kim Elizabeth is the author of NETHERWORLD, MYSTICAL EYES, IMMORTAL HEARTBEAT and FROM THE SHADOWS, as well as her illustrated series, DARK WORLD and INTO THE NIGHT. Haunting and atmospheric, Elizabeth masterfully weaves her web of sublime enchantment and merciless horror, leaving you out of breath, heart pounding, and desperately needing more. Chilling, mysterious and unearthly, Kim Elizabeth is the stuff in which the most memorable dreams and nightmares are made of. Stories and poems such as Blood Princess, Boxed Elysian Fields, Esprit de Corps, 13 O'clock, Moon Time, Necromancer, Black X's, Hell Hath No Fury..., Exurgent Mortui et ad Me Veniunt, The Dead Rise and Come to Me, Beyond the Crossing of Erebus, Dream Crypt, The Impaling Game and Funeral Flowers, just to name a few from the myriad of her creations.

Kim Elizabeth's stories, poems and special features have appeared in hundreds of publications, and the haunting presence of her work has garnered her an incredible following throughout the world. A successful writer, poet, artist and model since age 16, in just a few years the young author has become a mainstay of dark fantasy literature. With countless accolades, this phenomenal writer never ceases to tantalize and captivate readers, bewitching them into her strangely beautiful, yet concurrently horrifying, world of dark grace. "A world from which," as one of the many inspired quotes go, "you will not want to return…."

A fan club dedicated to the Princess of Horror numbers over one thousand and her graphic book series, DARK WORLD, from Millennium Publications (publisher of Anne Rice's The Witching Hour, H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu, and more) has a circulation of more than 150,000 and growing.

NETHERWORLD, the masterpiece anthology, collects some of the nightmare-inspired (and inspiring!) short stories and poems that have led many in the press to call Kim Elizabeth the Princess of Horror.  Her ethereal, atmospheric and sensuous style contrasts beautifully with the often violent, but always melodic, terrors that lurk in her dark worlds.  Kim Elizabeth's stories affect readers like poetry.  Her poems feel like short, powerful stories. Kim Elizabeth has firmly established herself as a unique and refined voice in horror. NETHERWORLD will entrance and bewitch new fans, and serve as a chilling reminder for the old, of why Kim Elizabeth is truly the Princess of Horror....

Kim Elizabeth is currently at work on a new novel and screenplay. Kim's latest expansion being in the movie industry.

This is just her beginning.

"Her words will forever prey in my heart."
