3	[[http://www.blackholly.com Holly Black]] (born Holly Riggenbach, November 10, 1971) is an American writer and editor who is probably most well known for co-writing ''Literature/TheSpiderwickChronicles'' with Tony [=DiTerlizzi=]. She has also written several other books, including ''Literature/ModernFaerieTales'', ''ComicBook/TheGoodNeighbors'', ''Literature/TheCurseWorkers'', ''Literature/TheDarkestPartOfTheForest'' and ''Literature/BookOfNight''. She also co-edited the anthologies ''[[Literature/GeektasticStoriesFromTheNerdHerd Geektastic: Stories from the Nerd Herd]]'' and ''Literature/ZombiesVsUnicorns''.
4
5	Inspired by a childhood immersed in fairy tales, most of her books feature the supernatural and TheFairFolk. Not always portrayed so positively, either--the supernatural creatures in her stories are usually of the cruel, vindictive, yet terribly beautiful variety. Her {{young adult\|Literature}} works also have a generous helping of BodyHorror and {{Gorn}}.

7	She's good friends with Creator/CassandraClare, and the two of them have worked on a joint project ''Literature/TheMagisterium''.
