Hello.
My name is Mikayla Randolph, and I write short stories and novels. I write primarily character-driven speculative fiction and have a keen interest in creating complicated, unique female characters and dynamics. My work has appeared in The Chamber Magazine, Watershed Review, and Coffin Bell.

Completed Works.
When Darkness Arrives
Two women, a young nanny and a powerful CEO, hurtling towards an intense confrontation over the child they both love, are haunted by a malevolent entity. They’ll need to decide whether to cave to their festering animosities, or band together to save the child they love, and themselves.
​
Not Your Final Girl
Don’t Fear the Reaper meets The Guest List with a sprinkle of Promising Young Woman.
A slasher partial re-imagining of Tess of the D’urbervilles where a group of estranged high school frenemies reuniting at a luxury cabin in the woods are hunted by a masked killer.
