I am so grateful to Bookshop for including What Happens at Nightfall in their shortlist of Must Read Spooky Books of 2026– along with Alice Hoffman, Leigh Bardugo, and Elizabeth Kostova!

Gothic is having a moment and I am here for it.

The folks at Bookshop write: “We are seeing a renaissance in generational curses and atmospheric hauntings, beautifully epitomized by Alice Hoffman’s enchanting The Witches of Cambridge and Lauren Willig’s deliciously eerie Brooklyn cemetery mystery, What Happens at Nightfall. ”

Atmospheric haunting?  Check.  Generational curse?  Check, check.

“From ivory-tower secrets to crumbling ancestral architecture, these new releases prove that our hunger for the macabre, the scholarly, and the supernatural is stronger than ever. Whether you prefer the coziness of classic witchery or the sharp edge of psychological dread, these are the must-read spooky books of the year.”

Join me and my characters in Brooklyn’s Green-Wood Cemetery on October 6th to find out What Happens at Nightfall!
