Dr. Nat Reeve is a novelist and academic. His debut novel Nettleblack was published by Cipher Press in 2022, and was a fiction book of the year at the LRB Bookshop, Blackwells Manchester and Waterstones. The sequel, Earlyfate, came out in 2024, and was a Lunate Book of the Year.
Nat also has a Ph.D. in “Queer Reading the Work of Elizabeth Siddal” awarded by Royal Holloway and is currently Honorary Research Fellow in the University of Exeter’s MRC Centre for Medical Mycology.
Nat found this process deeply stressful, and quite frankly, wishes it wasn’t necessary in the slightest but he is very glad you are reading this.
