Friends Luncheon: A Conversation with NYT Bestselling Author Katherine Howe

We are thrilled to welcome New York Times bestselling author Katherine Howe to Huntington! Katherine's Substack, "The Howe and the Why," describes her as "a specialist in witchcraft, scrying, ghosts, and piracy." Her best known books are The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane, which debuted at #2 on the New York Times bestseller list in 2009 and was named one of USA Today's top ten books of the year, and Conversion, which received the 2015 Massachusetts Book Award in young adult literature. In 2014 she edited The Penguin Book of Witches for Penguin Classics, a primary source reader on the history of witchcraft in England and North America.

She co-authored the #1 bestselling Vanderbilt: the Rise and Fall of an American Dynasty with CNN's Anderson Cooper, which came out in September 2021. Their next bestselling collaboration, Astor: the Rise and Fall of an American Fortune released September 19, 2023.
