Summary
Tonight we’re chatting with C. J. Dotson, author of the new book THESE FAMILIAR WALLS, out from St. Martin’s Press in April. THESE FAMILAR WALLS is a suburban horror novel about a woman who inherits her childhood home after her parents are murdered there, only to find it haunted by past trauma and a menacing presence, forcing her to confront dark secrets from her youth, including a troubled friendship and a mysterious fire. The story uses a dual timeline, flashing back to 1998 and forward to 2020, and is described as a chilling, twist-filled tale perfect for fans of authors like T. Kingfisher and Catriona Ward.
