Had the pleasure of meeting Leanna Renee Hieber for the release of her and Andrea Jane's book, "America’s Most Gothic: Haunted History Stranger than Fiction" at the amazing bookstore, "All She Wrote" in Somerville.

A Golden-filigree framed image with a grey-green misty background with the book centered. The book cover features a teal background with a central haunted house (typical Gothic, mansard roof, eerily lit interior, surrounded by encroaching mist and overgrowing forest.) The text is in white script and the subtitle in a rich goldenrod yellow that mirrors the filigree detailing and quatrefoil corner pieces of gothic detailing around the edges. The quote from Publishers Weekly reads: "[A] spine-tingling investigation of ghostly mayhem and gory deeds. It's a satisfuing combination of well-sourced fact-checking, thoughtful literary analysis, and creepy chills." Andrea and Leanna are also the co-authors of A HAUNTED HISTORY OF INVISIBLE WOMEN: TRUE STORIES OF AMERICA'S GHOSTS which was nominated for a Bram Stoker Award for Superior Achievement in Non-Fiction

HUGE thanks to the AMAZING independent bookstores on our AMERICA'S MOST GOTHIC tour so far. All have signed stock in-store & online! Please support them!

Rep. Pressley, wearing a black dress, smiles as she checks out a book. A woman’s hand reaches out for her book across the check out counter. Behind them is the bookstore, filled with colorful art and books.

With Republicans banning books nationwide, I'm grateful for local bookstores preserving underrepresented voices in literature.

The freedom to pursue boundless knowledge must remain just that: a freedom.

Thank you to @allshewrotebks.bsky.social in Somerville for letting me drop by.
