Who is Melinda M. Black?

Melinda M. Black is a multi-genre author, podcaster, and full-time purveyor of the eerie and emotional. She writes thrillers, speculative fiction, and stories that toe the line between reality and nightmare — including the novel Obscura and the upcoming psychological shapeshifter thriller In Every Face.

By moonlight (and sometimes candlelight), she also writes fantasy romance under the pen name Lucien Graves, where cursed libraries, soul-bound scholars, and magic-burned girls take center stage — starting with The Library of Stolen Stars.

If you like your books haunting, character-driven, and a little feral, you're in the right place.

What’s Raise Merry Hell about?

Raise Merry Hell is my true crime/horror/fanfic-reading podcast where we dive into cults, creepy tales, and chaotic Dramione fanfiction. If it’s unsettling, mysterious, or way too spicy, I probably read it on the internet.

Will you read my story on your podcast?

In short, YES.

Please dear god send me your spooky tales, or tea I don’t care. reply@raisemerryhell.com

Can I support your work?

YES PLEASE. I have a Patreon, or you can sub to the ‘from hell’ tier on this website!

Or if you’re a broke bitch, much like ya girl—

Share my work and scream about it online. Seriously. Word of mouth is everything.

Are you open to collabs, interviews, or guest spots?

YES, lets chat reply@raisemerryhell.com

Is Binx a real cat?

Yes. He’s real. He’s black. He’s dramatic.
