Jess Kidd

Jess Kidd is an Irish-British novelist whose magical, darkly comic fiction blends mystery with folklore and the supernatural. She grew up in London in a large Irish family and draws on Irish storytelling traditions. Everyday Magic is part of her body of work that includes Himself, The Hoarder, and Things in Jars. Kidd's fiction is celebrated for its distinctive voice, its blend of the comic and the macabre, and its rich cast of eccentric characters. Her writing inhabits a space between literary fiction and genre, where ghosts are as real as the living. Her audiobooks and books offer listeners and readers darkly funny, magically infused fiction where Irish storytelling meets literary mystery — novels as eccentric and unforgettable as their characters.
