Carolyne Topdjian

Carolyne Topdjian is the author of the critically acclaimed gothic novels The Black Moth and The Hitman’s Daughter, the latter which received a starred review from Library Journal. Shortlisted for the Ghost Prize by Fractured Literary, her work has appeared in PRISM International, Dreamers Magazine, Firewords Quarterly, and elsewhere. She is a grant recipient from the Canada Council for the Arts and the Mississauga Arts Council, holds an interdisciplinary PhD, and is a professor of fine arts at Humber Polytechnic in Toronto. Fittingly, she’s lived in a 100-year-old haunted house for over a decade.
