The Warm Hands of Ghosts
The Warm Hands of Ghosts is Katherine's long-awaited fourth novel for adults and will be published in the US on February 13, 2024. It follows a World War One field nurse named Laura Iven who returns to the front to look for her missing brother in the waning months of the war. Five years in the writing, The Warm Hands of Ghosts was influenced by the real history of the First World War, and such diverse sources as Paradise Lost, the biblical apocalypse, and Gothic romance.
Empty Smiles in Paperback
Empty Smiles is now out in paperback! The final entry in the terrifying Small Spaces Quartet for middle grade readers follows three best friends Ollie, Coco and Brian in their quest to defeat the dreaded Smiling Man once and for all. Their adventures have taken them through a terrifying corn maze, a haunted ski lodge, and a mysterious island where a monster lies in wait--but now they face a sinister carnival, and perhaps their greatest test yet.
For Adults
Set in the cold winter of a medieval Russian wilderness, this is the story of a girl who must draw on strange gifts that she has long concealed in order to protect her family from a threat that seems to have sprung from her nurse's most frightening fairy tales. Includes The Bear and the Nightingale, The Girl in the Tower, and The Winter of the Witch.
For Children
Set in contemporary Vermont, the Small Spaces Quartet is the story of three friends who face a series of horrifying games and schemes dreamed up by an ancient evil called the Smiling Man. Each book is attached to a season. We begin in the fall with Small Spaces, continue into a haunted winter with Dead Voices, move into a monstrous spring with Dark Waters and finally a terrifying summer with Empty Smiles.
About Katherine
I was a kid from Texas, but I had spent nearly two years living in Moscow, off and on, by the time I graduated Middlebury college, degree in hand in the spring of 2011. Between the snow in Moscow and the snow in Vermont, I was tired of frost, and I felt like I’d been studying and interning and learning and achieving without cease since middle school. I was at a crossroads.
