Lira Palmer

Lira Palmer (she/her) lives, for now, in the northern Dutch city of Groningen. As a scientist, she has written several outreach and popular science pieces when not pipetting samples and handling beakers. Stepping away from the quantifiable and explainable, she is an emergent fiction writer, with a taste in horror, weird and unexplainable fiction, for a good measure of balance.

Read Palmer’s short story “Calypso” in Horrific Scribes.

Description: “Calypso” is a nightmarish story about a haunted woman’s search for a rare orchid, blending both botanical curiosity and ritual mysticism.
