HUGE thanks to the AMAZING independent bookstores on our AMERICA'S MOST GOTHIC tour so far. All have signed stock in-store & online! Please support them!

A Golden-filigree framed image with a grey-green misty background with the book centered. The book cover features a teal background with a central haunted house (typical Gothic, mansard roof, eerily lit interior, surrounded by encroaching mist and overgrowing forest.) The text is in white script and the subtitle in a rich goldenrod yellow that mirrors the filigree detailing and quatrefoil corner pieces of gothic detailing around the edges.

The quote from Publishers Weekly reads: "[A] spine-tingling investigation of ghostly mayhem and gory deeds. It's a satisfuing combination of well-sourced fact-checking, thoughtful literary analysis, and creepy chills."

Andrea and Leanna are also the co-authors of A HAUNTED HISTORY OF INVISIBLE WOMEN: TRUE STORIES OF AMERICA'S GHOSTS which was nominated for a Bram Stoker Award for Superior Achievement in Non-Fiction

With Republicans banning books nationwide, I'm grateful for local bookstores preserving underrepresented voices in literature.

The freedom to pursue boundless knowledge must remain just that: a freedom.

Thank you to @allshewrotebks.bsky.social in Somerville for letting me drop by.
