Casey M. Ball
Casey M. Ball is a writer and lifelong creator from Buffalo, New York. When she’s not writing stories, she’s painting, making music, crocheting, and crafting — always chasing new ways to bring ideas to life. Across fantasy, mystery, horror, and contemporary fiction, Casey focuses on grounded, purposeful storytelling that keeps characters and momentum at the heart of every piece.
Her debut novel, The Shadow, is a fantasy exploring grief, resilience, and finding light after loss. Told through a grounded lens, the story combines emotional weight with a world touched by haunting magic.
Her next book, Quiet Hours, is a collection of slow-burn, psychological horror stories, with a few sharp-edged slashers woven in. Set to release later this year, it moves between quiet dread and sudden violence, showing how even the smallest cracks in the mind can tear wide open.

“The Shadow is a beautiful debut novel filled with imagery that is both evanescent and solid. Lost in a new and strange world Eli finds himself in, I could almost imagine the immense feeling of being lost while being found. Eli’s story is strong and while at times sad, hope rises and carries the reader to a satisfying conclusion. A story about the power of belief in self and friendship, I say kudos to Casey for her first novel. A large splash for a novice, I foresee the ripples touching those who read it near and far.”
“The Shadow is a powerful story of healing and transformation. Eli’s journey pulled me in from the first page—raw, emotional, and magical all at once. It’s a reminder that even in our darkest moments, there’s still a door to something beautiful. A truly moving read that stayed with me long after I finished.”
“I really liked this book! It’s dark, magical, and kept me turning the pages. A great fantasy read with an intriguing story.”
