Kelly deVos
contemporary & horror writer
I write sharp, funny books about girls who refuse to shrink.
Five novels so far — a fashion-world debut, a doomsday duology, zombies at fat camp, and a Dracula-inspired castle slasher. My work on body positivity has appeared in the New York Times, Vulture, Salon, Bustle and SheKnows. I live in Gilbert, Arizona with my high school sweetheart, our daughter, and a superhero dog named Cocoa.
“deVos superbly blends humor and horror in this sharp-witted, high-stakes adventure that unpicks genre conventions and wades fearlessly into the dialogue surrounding fatphobia. A gory, no-holds-barred zombie story that manages to both celebrate and terrify.”
ALA Booklist, starred review · on Eat Your Heart Out
“In this gripping tale of heart and adventure, deVos propels her characters into a breathless quest edged by thoughtful commentary on the nature of humanity.”
Laura Taylor Namey, New York Times bestselling author · on Day Zero
“Readers will appreciate deVos’s characterization of Cookie, who realistically struggles to stay true to herself, regardless of the numbers on the scale.”
