Kristyn Dunnion (born August 6, 1969 in Kingsville, Ontario) is a Canadian fiction writer and performance artist. She has published four novels and a short story collection to date. Her short fiction appears in literary journals, including Grain Magazine, The Tahoma Literary Review, and Cosmonauts Avenue, as well as in several anthologies. Dunnion is the 2015 Machigonne Fiction prize winner for the short story, "Last Call at the Dogwater Inn," published in The New Guard Volume V. For several years she performed cabaret shows under the name Miss Kitty Galore, and was the bassist in the all-female heavy metal band Heavy Filth [(2008-2011)]. She currently plays bass in the Toronto-based rock band Bone Donor. Her more recent literary work is aimed at an adult audience, but earlier writing was primarily intended for young adult readers. Her writing incorporates aspects of science fiction, punk culture and horror literature, although she has also published several stories in anthologies of adult erotic literature.
