Surprise! This is what I've been (feverishly!) working on for the past 7 months. I'm beyond thrilled to be working with Gracie Doyle and Thomas & Mercer again (as well as Jill Marr, of course). Can't wait until next fall, when I get to haunt all my wonderful readers with this creepy new novel!!! 👻📜🖊️

Horror fans, what are your best recs for films in the same vein as Dark Skies and The Fourth Kind, i.e., alien encounter/abduction films more horror than sci-fi with a creepy atmosphere, lots of uncanniness, and a heavy dose of conspiracy theories?
