About Nikki Grim
Nikki Grim is an Australian author whose work explores the quiet devastation of memory, inheritance, and the stories women are forced to carry. Writing at the intersection of psychological fiction and modern gothic, her stories examine grief, silence, and the long shadows cast by family and place.

Drawing on themes of generational legacy, moral ambiguity, and emotional survival, Nikki’s work is known for its atmospheric restraint, lyrical precision, and emotional depth.
