Author Talk with Wendy Wagner and John Hornor Jacobs

Join authors Wendy Wagner and John Horner Jacobs in-store on July 17 to celebrate the release of Wendy's debut horror novel, The Girl in the Creek! We'll be chatting all thing folk and atmospheric horror with two incredible genre writers.

Girl in the Creek is a pulse-pounding story about the horrors growing all around us, perfect for fans of Jeff VanderMeer and T. Kingfisher.

Buried secrets only spread.

Erin's brother Bryan has been missing for five years.

It was as if he simply walked into the forests of the Pacific Northwest and vanished. Determined to uncover the truth, Erin heads to the foothills of Mt. Hood where Bryan was last seen alive. He isn’t the first hiker to go missing in this area, and their cases go unsolved.

When she discovers the corpse of a local woman in a creek, Erin unknowingly puts herself in the crosshairs of very powerful forces—from this world and beyond—hell-bent on keeping their secrets buried.
