It was nominated for a Bram Stoker Award for Superior Achievement in a First Novel, and was optioned for film by Village Roadshow/Valparaiso Pictures. Her second “mind-bending” (NY Times) novel, “Wonderland,” was one of Book Riot’s Best Horror Books of 2020, and one of Overdrive’s Best Audio Books of 2020. Her third novel, “Getaway,” described as “stunning” in a starred review from Booklist, was released this month.

“Getaway” – It was supposed to be the perfect week away. Imogen and Beck, two sisters who could not be more different, have been friends with Tilda since high school. Once inseparable, over two decades the women have grown apart. But after Imogen survives a traumatic attack, Beck suggests they all reunite to hike deep into the Grand Canyon’s backcountry. A week away, secluded in nature. Surely it is just what they need. But as the terrain grows tougher, tensions from their shared past bubble up. And when supplies begin to disappear, it becomes clear secrets are not the only thing they are being stalked by. As friendship and survival collide with an unspeakable evil, Getaway becomes another riveting thriller from a growing master of suspense and a “literary horror writer on the rise.” (BookPage)
