Sophia Huneycutt

April 10, 2024

The House Built on Alligator Bones (Novel), Columbus, OH

In The House Built on Alligator Bones, a woman pursues her inheritance—a Florida alligator farming empire—uncovering family secrets that threaten her sanity and safety.

“I hope people with invisible disabilities identify with my heroine, finding joy in seeing someone like them embark on a harrowing, Southern Gothic adventure.”

Sophia Huneycutt is a Florida writer living in Columbus, Ohio. Her fiction has received the Porch Prize, judged by Kevin Wilson, and the Helen Earnhart Harley Creative Writing Fellowship Award, judged by Christine Sneed. It appears in STORY, Nashville Review, Ellery Queen’s Mystery Magazine, and Jabberwock Review. She has an MFA from The Ohio State University.
