About Me

I'm drawn to stories about the vulnerable edges of the oppressive status quo, to lush descriptions, to tricksters, and to the quiet, dawning horror when you realize that the monster wasn't what you thought it was, and that nothing will ever be the same.

Bio

Kaiden Alderling wields weird fiction in his quest to interrogate the alleged monster in the mirror, playing with the fact of being painfully human in an era of shifting, surveillance-driven technology. A Canadian author and artist who lives in Treaty 7 territory in Calgary, Alberta, he enjoys exploring the mountains, playing tabletop RPGs, and writing unsettling adventures that leave no survivor unchanged.
