Erin Morgenstern is the author of The Night Circus, a fantastical novel that follows the impossible love of two magicians. The Night Circus spent seven weeks on The New York Times Bestseller List and was recognized with the 2012 Alex Award, given by the Young Adult Library Services Association, as well as the 2012 Locus Award for First Novel.
Morgenstern mesmerizes crowds with tale of the “Cirques de Rêves,” on which her debut novel, The Night Circus, is based. Her unique creativity and boundless imagination makes her a favorite for community reads, book clubs, and libraries.
In addition to her writing and speaking, Erin Morgenstern also paints and blogs. She graduated from Smith College with a degree in theater and studio art. She also writes “Flax-golden tales”—ten-sentence short fiction pieces based on photographs—which she posts every Friday on her website, erinmorgenstern.com.
Magical. Enchanting. Spellbinding. Mesmerizing.
Erin Morgenstern has created the circus I have always longed for and she has populated it with dueling love-struck magicians, precocious kittens, hyper-elegant displays of beauty and complicated clocks. This is a marvelous book.
"Morgenstern's exquisitely realized world will have the reader wishing to run off and join this circus." - USA Today
