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.

Her fiction often centres on women navigating the aftermath of trauma — not through spectacle, but through the small, intimate fractures of everyday life. 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.

She is the author of the forthcoming Ashfall Cycle — a trilogy that traces the quiet devastation of memory and inheritance through Barren House, They All Fall Down, and The Last House; each novel forming part of a loosely connected body of work that explores how the past shapes the present, and how truth lingers long after it is buried.

Alongside her fiction, Nikki is the founder of Scarlett Wednesday, a creative platform celebrating storytelling, womanhood, and emotional honesty across art, publishing, and digital media. Her writing reflects her conviction that stories — especially the challenging ones — can provide both reckoning and release.

Nikki lives in Australia, where she writes between the margins of motherhood, memory, and the haunting spaces where stories begin.

Based in Sydney, Australia, she strives to push boundaries with her writing, offering unfiltered glimpses into life’s struggles and triumphs. She is dedicated to telling stories that matter.
