Stephanie Silk,writer

Stephanie Silk is a library technician who inherited her love of storytelling from her father, and her dark humour from her mother. Now she explores both through short fiction and poetry, focusing on Canadian themes. In the past, Steph dabbled in short romance stories, but her main characters kept mysteriously dying, which propelled her into the thriller and horror genres. When she’s not burning through her characters, Steph can be found camping with her husband and their dog, or enjoying the occasional weekend at home in Severn, Ontario.

Moths & Men — Volume 10, Issue 3

A gas station on the edge of nowhere becomes the unlikely stage for Moths & Men, Stephanie Silk’s fiction—a slow-burn thriller that keeps its hand hidden until the very last moment. Written with sharp wit and cool nerve, it is the story of a woman passing through, a town briefly upended, and the delicious revelation that in a room full of people running from something, not everyone is who they seem.
