I write horror books and run for fun. Toshiro Mifune is the greatest.
www.christinahenry.net
Author of 19 horror & dark fantasy novels. My latest, THE PLACE WHERE THEY BURIED YOUR HEART, is about a girl who dares her little brother to go into an abandoned house & the house eats her brother (no, really). I've never won an award nor been a NYT bestseller but my dad thinks my books are good.

My book is out today! THE PLACE WHERE THEY BURIED YOUR HEART is about trauma and families and love, and, oh yeah, also about the abandoned house on the block that crouches like a malevolent spider, waiting to eat some kids. I hope you love reading it as much as I loved writing it.

Isn’t she gorgeous???? Just got my ARCs for THE PLACE WHERE THEY BURIED YOUR HEART. If you’re attending Books and Brews this weekend, there might be a copy given away at my reading 👻 I loved writing this book and I can’t wait for all of you to read it.

It’s the height of summer, and my summer-iest book is definitely THE GHOST TREE. I wrote this as a response to all the coming-of-age horror books about boys that I read in the ‘80s; mine is about two teen girls who used to be best friends and are now growing apart. And of course, there’s a monster.

Who’s a real bad seed going to see Nick Cave for the 8th time? THIS GIRL.
Do you know how much I love Nick Cave? The house in THE HOUSE THAT HORROR BUILT is named for a Nick Cave song. All the story titles in LOOKING GLASS are Nick Cave songs. I NAMED MY SON AFTER MY FAVORITE NICK CAVE ALBUM.

"Jessie Campanelli did what many older sisters do and dared her little brother Paul to go inside the old McIntyre place. But unlike all the other kids who went inside that abandoned house, Paul didn’t return. The house ate Paul."

This morning we went to the Music Box and saw HIS GIRL FRIDAY and this evening we went to the Alamo and saw COMPANION. A+ first day of February. Zero doomscrolling.
