I write horror books and run for fun. Toshiro Mifune is the greatest.

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.

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.
