Biography
Ægisdóttir was born in Akranes, Iceland in 1988. Her literary aspirations were apparent from an early age, when she won a short-story competition at the age of 15. She went to Norway for higher studies, and upon returning to Iceland, decided to write a novel. Her first book The Creak on the Stairs (2018) was a No.1 bestseller in Iceland and won the Icelandic Svart Fuglinn (English: Blackbird Award). The same novel won the British literary award New Blood Dagger in 2021.
Subsequent books in her Forbidden Iceland series include Girls Who Lie and Night Shadows.
She is published in English translation by Orenda Books, and she has been dubbed the "Icelandic Ruth Rendell" by the British press.[like whom?]
