Juliana Koen Alonso

About the Author

Juliana Koen Alonso is an Argentine-Canadian author who primarily writes dark science fiction and fantasy in the adult category.

Koen Alonso enjoys fiction that isn't dark just for the sake of being dark, but rather always has a message to transmit. Due to this, her work largely revolves around topics surrounding her own intersecting identities, politics, and the feeling of otherness. By day, Koen Alonso is pursuing her Master's in Neuroscience; by night, she's absorbed in worlds created by authors she admires such as Octavia E. Butler, N.K. Jemisin, and R.F. Kuang.

Unofficial Pitch:

INKBLIND is the exploration of colonization through academia of R.F. Kuang’s Babel meets the analysis of the past of Matt Haig’s The Midnight Library.

After a string of minority student suicides at 1930’s McGill, Vivi realizes that the chill down her spine may be more than just the coming winter air. Vivid nightmares interrupt her near-idyllic student life, professors oddly eager to help a Sephardic Jewish girl excel in a sea of blonde Protestants, but Vivi soon learns she hasn’t been in her bed every night—she’s been in the depths of catacombs below the university. Uncovering a secret society that transforms the ink of old books into a drug that lets the user look through the writer’s eyes, Vivi recounts the truth of history with every hit in exchange for a better life. But the more she uses, the more her mind confuses past with present. It’s clear to Vivi that Ink will drive her mad, but if she’s going to die, she might as well take the system down with her.
