P. C. Cast

House of Night co-creator with her own substantial solo catalogue — paranormal romance and mythological fantasy across many books.

P. C. Cast is best known for the House of Night vampyre series co-written with her daughter Kristin Cast, but her solo catalogue is significant. Her Goddess Summoning series retells goddess myths in contemporary romance register; her Partholon series builds a Celtic-inflected fantasy world; her Tales of a New World and other projects extend the range. The prose is direct and propulsive, the romantic and mythological threads anchor the long catalogue, and her output across solo and collaborative work is substantial.

For older teen readers in House of Night, adult readers in her solo work. Content varies: paranormal romance and goddess-themed work include explicit sexual content, violence, and adult thematic material. The reading experience is the satisfaction of a writer with a wide-ranging mythological-fantasy and paranormal-romance catalogue. Pick this shelf when you want paranormal and mythological fantasy from one of the writers who shaped the YA paranormal wave and has continued working across registers in her solo career.
