Description
The best bookstores are haunted.
My name is Hecate Grimm, and I own a bookshop. It’s pretty average as far as bookstores go. Nothing special to see here, or at least that’s what my regulars believe. They also think I’m a ventriloquist, special effects guru, and dedicated actress.
Clearly, when it was raining brains, the vast majority went out with umbrellas. I’ve told them, time and time again that I’m a witch, and this is a haunted bookstore, which is why it’s called The Haunt.
But no, it’s much easier to believe I wasted time learning to throw my voice and hanging invisible wires all over the place. After all, you’re modern people. How could anything supernatural be going on right under your noses?
Maiden, Mother, and Crone—the stupidity of it makes me sick. I guess you can come in if you must. Look around and actually buy something since you’ve had the audacity to interrupt my book. Just don’t wear out your welcome or waste my time with your idiotic questions. I have fictional characters to get back to, and they’re all more interesting than you.
REVIEWS:
"This is the perfect read for spooky season! It was darkly whimsical and funny. I wish The Haunt was a real place, talking skulls included! It’s been some time since I’ve read such an entertaining paranormal book. I look forward to the author’s future works."-Kerry Paolucci (Goodreads)

SamiJo is a first-class shenanigator, decorated coddiwompler, narrator, creator, and author of The Abney Kelly series and The Haunt (coming October 8th). She also has a short story, One Samhain Night, published in the UJ Plainsong literary journal in April 2024, and a poem, The Bottom, published in Great Plains Medley, a collection of prose and poetry by North Dakota writers. She lives in North Dakota with her husband (Andy), dogs (Puck, Enzo, and Bailey), and three cats (Horus, Anubis, and Snow Kitty). In her spare time, she reads, writes, listens to audiobooks, plays video games, and enjoys D&D on the weekends.
On a more serious note, writing is everything to SamiJo. As a sickly child, she often spent her time indoors or at the hospital before they figured out she had asthma. At that time, books were her best friends. Without fairy tales, the Dear America Books, and authors like Diana Wynne Jones, Jim Sukach, Anne Martin, and Richard Peck, she would have been unthinkably lonely. She aims to write stories that give people a much-needed escape from reality and create places to go when getting out the front door is too much to bear.
