About

BARBARA STEWART writes creepy, twisty young adult novels that linger in your mind long after you’ve turned the last page. Her stories dive into the dark corners of teenage life—where the line between reality and the supernatural is always just a little blurry.

With a love for haunting atmosphere, emotionally complex characters, and endings that don’t always tie up neatly, Barbara explores the fears we try to hide and the secrets we carry. If it gives you chills, she’s probably writing about it.

When she’s not crafting unsettling stories for brave readers, Barbara can be found building WordPress websites, obsessively reading true crime, or wondering if that noise in the basement really was just the house creaking. She lives in the Catskill Mountains of New York, and yes—she loves old cemeteries, especially Woodland, where Ellie’s dad is buried.
