Isabela Livino

Isabela Livino writes fiction with a dark, speculative twist. She studied philosophy at the University of Rochester before receiving a Master’s from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. When she is not writing, you can find her riding horses, designing apps, gardening, or watching horror films while cuddling with her furbabies. A native of Pernambuco, Brazil, she currently lives in Connecticut with her husband, their two Caribbean-born adopted coconut retrievers, and the river ducks.

Her debut gothic horror novel AN IMMACULATE DECEPTION is coming out in autumn 2026 from Dutton, an imprint of Penguin Random House, in the US, and from Gollancz in the UK.
