Hey, I’m going on book tour this fall! I have nine bookstore events plus the Louisiana Book Festival on Nov 1 and Horror on the Hudson Nov 7-9. Check out the graphics to see if I’ll be in your area, and click this link for my website to get more info about each event: www.christinahenry.net?p=1417

The Place Where They Buried Your Heart by Christina Henry is a unique and original haunted house story that blends the eerie supernatural with family and generational grief. @christinahenry.bsky.social

"Suburban horror of the highest order...reads like a cross between Josh Malerman and Sarah Langan. An excellent, original haunted house story...." @christinahenry.bsky.social I'll be Christina's conversation partner at Brookline Booksmith on November 6th. Mark your calendars now!

THE PLACE WHERE THEY BURIED YOUR HEART by @christinahenry.bsky.social A woman must confront the evil that has been terrorizing her street since she was a child in this gripping haunted house novel, perfect for fans of The Last House on Needless Street. UK: www.netgalley.co.uk/catalog/book...

Ok, friends. It’s August 6th. Taking bets on the date of the first pumpkin spice-whatever sighting of the season. I was at Jewel this morning and saw a shelf of Halloween stuff, so it can’t be long now. I’m saying August 15th.

So profoundly grateful to @pfracassi.bsky.social for saying nice things about THE PLACE WHERE THEY BURIED YOUR HEART. Out in the U.S. and UK November 4th; the German edition will be out next spring.

Last Wednesday I finished writing my 20th book. I had to rush off the next day for a weekend-long event so I feel like I didn't really process that at the time. I have written TWENTY BOOKS. TWENTY. Feels kinda miraculous.

Isn’t she gorgeous???? Just got my ARCs for THE PLACE WHERE THEY BURIED YOUR HEART. If you’re attending Books and Brews this weekend, there might be a copy given away at my reading 👻 I loved writing this book and I can’t wait for all of you to read it.

Enter for a chance to win THE PLACE WHERE THEY BURIED YOUR HEART by @christinahenry.bsky.social, “a cosmic blast of haunted house horror." -Philip Fracassi, author of Boys in the Valley! Goodreads giveaway through August 22nd! 15 copies up for grabs (US only). www.goodreads.com/giveaway/sho...

It’s the height of summer, and my summer-iest book is definitely THE GHOST TREE. I wrote this as a response to all the coming-of-age horror books about boys that I read in the ‘80s; mine is about two teen girls who used to be best friends and are now growing apart. And of course, there’s a monster.

Hey, northwest suburbs folks! I'm going to be signing at the Barnes & Noble in Algonquin Commons (1802 S Randall Rd, Algonquin, IL) TOMORROW Saturday June 20th from 1pm-3pm. Stop by and see me!

My son told me the other day that when I die he is going to take all the books I have acquired over the course of my life (it's a lot of books) and build a mausoleum out of them. His rationale was "just in case you rise from the dead and want something to read." A+ kid; I'll keep him.

Hey, if you're in the Algonquin IL area I've got an upcoming signing at Barnes & Noble! Join me on Saturday, June 21st from 1pm-3pm. More information here: stores.barnesandnoble.com/event/978006...

I don't want to see your "summer beach read" lists. I want to see your "summer communing with a haunted forest" lists.

Is there any more terrible feeling as an author than knowing your book is now available on NetGalley and people can, like, actually read this thing that came out of your heart?

Hey, I'll be at Books & Brews in Noblesville IN on 8/2, and we've got an official anthology for the event! It's called THERE'S BLOOD IN THIS BREW & I contributed a little story to it alongside lots of of other super-talented authors. There's a Kickstarter running: www.kickstarter.com/projects/mad...

Hate this a lot. Value human creators, writers, artists, narrators, editors -- everyone in the chain of making a book and putting it out into the world should be a human being. Humans make art for humans. P.S. fuck AI -- eat shit, artbarf robots www.theguardian.com/books/2025/m...

My debut #Thriller ATACAMA is here! Read about one woman’s search for the truth of her best friend’s death, and the nightmare that unfolds on her path. Out now via @sleyhouseeditor.bsky.social. Order from your favorite bookseller! #NewRelease #newbook #books #horror #mystery #scifi

I've been keeping this under the hood but— I had a weird mammogram, and then another weird mammogram and ultrasound, and finally a biopsy, and I just got the call from my doc that I do NOT have cancer and I feel like I can breathe normally again for the first time in weeks.

30 Books to Add to Your TBR @angelaslatter.bsky.social @ghostorchidpress.com @sharonlynnfisher.bsky.social @christinahenry.bsky.social @spmiskowski.bsky.social + more!

So a horror author I do not know apparently found my email somewhere and added me to his mailing list without permission. Fellow authors, do not do this. I get that everyone is trying to get their work in front of people but all that does is get you immediately added to my "never buy" list.

So when I’m listening to a podcast and someone mispronounces a word I immediately correct them out loud even though I know they can’t hear me why am I like this

At my event last weekend someone approached my table, asked about my books, listened while I explained what each was about and then said, “I don’t really read” and walked away. Like, don’t you have something better to do with your time?? If you don’t read, why are you talking to me?

Who’s a real bad seed going to see Nick Cave for the 8th time? THIS GIRL. Do you know how much I love Nick Cave? The house in THE HOUSE THAT HORROR BUILT is named for a Nick Cave song. All the story titles in LOOKING GLASS are Nick Cave songs. I NAMED MY SON AFTER MY FAVORITE NICK CAVE ALBUM.

I've got my schedule for @concinnitycon.bsky.social on Saturday, April 26th! I'll be on three panels: 1) "The Silver Screen" in Rm DH129 at 11am. I'm doing this panel with my kid! Please come listen to us talk about movies we love (99% of this convo will be about YOJIMBO, probably) (cont'd 1/2)

Tulips are starting to show on Michigan Avenue. #chicago #chicagowriter

"Jessie Campanelli did what many older sisters do and dared her little brother Paul to go inside the old McIntyre place. But unlike all the other kids who went inside that abandoned house, Paul didn’t return. The house ate Paul." THE PLACE WHERE THEY BURIED YOUR HEART, coming November 4, 2025.

Hey, Kenosha/Racine/Milwaukee area folks! Please join me and Dennis E. Staples TONIGHT at Blue House Books in Kenosha to celebrate the release of his latest novel, PASSING THROUGH A PRAIRIE COUNTRY. You don’t want to miss this magical story.

Things are moving quickly, but it looks like these Sen's especially need calls from *constituents* to vote NO on cloture: Angus King (ME) Amy Klobuchar (MN) Jacky Rosen (NV) Brian Schatz (HI) Maggie Hassan (NH) Jeanne Shaheen (NH) Gary Peters (MI) Capitol switchboard is 202-224-3121.

If any Democratic member of the Senate votes yes on this CR they can kiss their fundraising money goodbye forever. Their base is furious. We want to see that someone is fighting for us, not obeying in advance. Primary all of them.

I had a great week. Thank you everyone for joining Christina Henry at I this week at City Lit Books. 📸 Christopher Lamitie @christinahenry.bsky.social @shawnnaderesch.bsky.social @raforall.bsky.social @laneheymont.bsky.social

CALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up. Tomorrow is the cloture vote. KEEP CALLING: (202) 224-3121 ☎️☎️☎️ Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill. Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.

It is a truth universally known that if you open your windows on a warm day some jackass with a leaf blower will immediately appear under your windowsill.

Experienced the Chicago jump scare today - when you open the garbage bin and find a rat sitting in there waiting like you’re the DoorDash driver with his delivery.

Hey, Kenosha! Join me and Dennis E. Staples at Blue House Books on Thursday March 20th at 6:30 pm to celebrate Dennis’ latest novel, PASSING THROUGH A PRAIRIE COUNTRY. Hope to see you there!
