Welcome to Haunted Books & Haunted Girls

I’m so happy you’re here.

My name is De Elizabeth, and I’m a dark fantasy and horror author. I write haunting and romantic books, and I’m passionate about telling ghost stories that are also love stories. My YA dark fantasy, This Raging Sea, was published in Fall 2025, and my forthcoming adult debut, She Haunts Me Still, is coming Summer 2026 from Dutton Books.

In this newsletter, you’ll find musings about the writing process, the highs and lows of publishing, and of course, book news: announcements, special giveaways, and sneak peeks behind the scenes.

Thanks for spending time with me! It’s a pleasure to haunt your inbox.
