Books will be available at the event for purchase!Conradt blends the creeping dread of T. Kingfisher's A House with Good Bones with the addictive, twist-filled unreliable narrative of The Perfect Marriage in this eerie psychological thriller about a woman who travels to with her husband to settle her late mother-in-law's hoarded estate only to discover an attic full of horrible secrets.
CHELSEA CONRADT is the USA Today bestselling author of The Farmhouse. She writes twisty speculative thrillers. Her books are packed with both murder and kindness, because we can be more than one thing. When not writing stories that make you question what’s real, she is likely watching a baking show or a true-crime documentary. She is nothing if not on brand. Chelsea lives in Texas with her husband, son, and two big dogs. Find Chelsea online at ChelseaConradt.com.
PRAISE FOR THE SECRET ATTIC
“Think your mother-in-law is bad? Just wait till you meet the MIL from hell in Chelsea Conradt's creepy whirlwind of a novel. The perfect read for bullied daughters-in-law everywhere.”
― Alma Katsu, New York Times bestselling author of Fiend
“Creepy and atmospheric with a sprinkling of dark humor, exploring the horrors involved with sifting through one’s past and confronting grief. Conradt captures the toxic mother-in-law dynamic effortlessly, then takes it to a whole new level of disturbing. I couldn’t put it down!”
― Miranda Smith, author of Smile for the Cameras
"Set on the foggy Oregon coast, The Secret Attic is a thriller with unsettling horror elements about the twisted lengths we'll go to for family…delightfully creepy novel infused with menacing family secrets that unravel following a sudden death, and the mysteries and lies concealed within a house where nothing is whatAlma C it seems.”
― Lacey N. Dunham, author of The Belles
“Conradt twists family lore and creeping horror into a thrilling tale that drags you into its dark, deliciously toxic heart. The tension builds with every new box that Addison opens, compelling the reader to dig right alongside her until the very end. Absolutely riveting.”
— Lish McBride, author of Most Likely to Murder
“The Secret Attic is clever, unsettlingly immersive, and emotionally complex. This book simmers with suspense and an ever-growing unease that will have you checking over your shoulder—if you can tear your eyes away from the page long enough to do so.”
— C.J. Dotson, author of The Cut and These Familiar Walls
