by Greye La Spina
Greye La Spina was an American writer of weird fiction, born in 1880 and active during the great pulp-magazine era. She became especially associated with supernatural and horror stories, publishing in magazines such as Weird Tales and The Thrill Book, where her work reached readers who loved uncanny, suspenseful fiction.
Her stories often drew on classic ingredients of the weird tale—hauntings, strange transformations, and dark secrets—while keeping a strong sense of pace and atmosphere. That mix helped her stand out in a field that was still opening up to women writers, and her name continues to appear in anthologies and discussions of early supernatural fiction.
Although she is less widely known today than some of her pulp-era peers, her fiction remains part of the history of American horror and fantasy magazines. Readers interested in the roots of modern weird fiction will find in her work a vivid link to the genre's early magazine age.
