Seanan McGuire is an American author known for her urban fantasy series October Daye and InCryptid, as well as the political thriller and horror series Newsflesh and Parasitology, written under the pseudonym Mira Grant. She received the John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer in 2010 from the World Science Fiction Convention. McGuire is also an avid fan of horror films and the X-Men.

Under the pen name Mira Grant, Seanan McGuire authored several notable works. The Newsflesh Trilogy explores a world post-zombie apocalypse. The Parasitology series delves into a dystopian future where parasites control human hosts. The collection When Will You Rise: Stories to End the World features various apocalyptic scenarios. Additionally, the novella Apocalypse Scenario #683: The Box presents a unique end-of-the-world narrative.
