Sarah Makayla Naidoo is a South African author whose fiction explores the space where folklore, faith, horror, and the supernatural meet. Her stories are rooted in South Africa's rich culture and landscape, reimagining local myths and histories through the lens of speculative fiction.

She is the author of A Remedy for Death and writes across horror, dark fantasy, urban fantasy, and literary fiction. Her work is drawn to morally complex characters, unsettling mysteries, and the enduring power of stories passed from one generation to the next.

Before writing full-time, Sarah worked as a journalist, content writer, copy editor, instructional designer, and academic writer. She also holds a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry and Genetics. Her background continues to influence her fascination with the natural world, scientific inquiry, and the strange ways science and belief intersect.

When she isn't writing, she's usually researching mythology, religion, and folklore, or watching the latest horror movie with a glass of wine.
