Leah Larson is an Assistant Professor of English and Chairperson of the Department of English, Drama, and Communication Arts at Our Lady of the Lake University, where she teaches Creative Writing, British Literature, World Literature, Composition, and Gothic Literature. Her goth debut was in third grade when she dressed up as Morticia Addams. The image has stuck, and members of her department dress in black in her honor. She lives in San Antonio with her husband, her Communist 13-year old son, a white rabbit, and six neurotic cats.
