Gennifer Albin is an American author associated with the Kansas City area, known for her young adult dystopian fantasy debut Crewel (2012), the first book in the Crewel World trilogy, continued in Altered and Unraveled. The trilogy is set in a world where women called Spinsters can weave the fabric of reality itself, a premise Albin developed by playing on the double meaning of "spinster" as both an old-fashioned term for an unmarried woman and someone who spins thread. Published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux, the series placed Albin within the wave of YA dystopian fiction that followed The Hunger Games, pairing textile-based magic with themes of authoritarian control and rebellion.
