Dark Sisters with Kristi DeMeester and Rachel Harrison

The Twisted Spine is honored to welcome author Kristi DeMeester to the shop to celebrate the launch of her latest novel, Dark Sisters! DeMeester will be joined in conversation by author Rachel Harrison (Play Nice) to discuss this new character-driven horror novel about faith, power, and the bond between women who’ve been asked to stay quiet for too long.

About DARK SISTERS:

In this fiercely captivating novel, horror meets historical fiction when a curse bridges generations, binding the fates of three women. Anne Bolton, a healer facing persecution for witchcraft, bargains with a dark entity for protection—but the fire she unleashes will reverberate for centuries. Mary Shephard, a picture-perfect wife in a suffocating community, falls for Sharon and begins a forbidden affair that could destroy them both. And Camilla Burson, the rebellious daughter of a preacher, defies conformist expectations to uncover an ancient power as her father’s flock spirals into crisis.
Three women. Three centuries. One legacy of fury, love, and a power that refuses to die.
