Author Bio

Born into a middle-class Jewish family in Prague, Franz Kafka (1883-1924) was one of the most influential writers of the 20th century - his name has become a byword for alienation and guilt - and his work is both harrowing and humorous, featuring individuals caught up in an impersonal and bureaucratic world over which they have increasingly little power.

Gaby Verdooren studied illustration at Parsons School of Design in New York and graduated in 2021. Gaby's work showcases the nostalgia of childhood and the mystique åof the natural world. She draws from autumnal color palettes, vintage fantasy aesthetics, and the occult. Her works have found their home within her self spun folk tales, characters, and unseen realms.
