Emily Carpenter

Emily Carpenter is a bestselling author of novels of suspense. Born and raised in Birmingham, Alabama, she now lives in Georgia with her family. Her previous novels include Burying the Honeysuckle Girls, The Weight of Lies (which received starred reviews by both Kirkus and Publishers Weekly), Every Single Secret, Until the Day I Die, and Reviving the Hawthorn Sisters, which Publishers Weekly called a “refreshingly modern gothic tale” and Kirkus called “an exciting, gothic-tinged quest.”

Her next novel, Gothictown, about a couple and their young daughter who accept a too-good-to-be-true offer to start their lives over in an idyllic Southern town, only to find that there’s something very sinister going on, will be published by Kensington in March 2025.
