On Wednesday, November 5th, 2025, at 6:30 p.m., Blue House Books invites readers to a spine-chilling evening at The Final Girl Bar in Kenosha with national bestselling author Christina Henry, celebrating the release of her latest haunted house thriller, The Place Where They Buried Your Heart.
About Christina Henry
Christina Henry is a bestselling horror and dark fantasy author who releases her very first hardcover, The Place Where They Buried Your Heart, on November 4th. Her previous titles include The House That Horror Built, Good Girls Don’t Die, Horseman, Near the Bone, The Ghost Tree, The Girl in Red, The Mermaid, Lost Boy, The Chronicles of Alice series (Alice, Red Queen, and Looking Glass), and the seven-book urban fantasy Black Wings series. Her short stories have been featured in the anthologies Elemental Forces, Cursed, Twice Cursed, Giving the Devil His Due, and Kicking It. She enjoys running long distances, reading anything she can get her hands on, and watching movies with samurai, zombies, and/or subtitles in her spare time. She lives in Chicago with her husband and son.
The Place Where They Buried Your Heart follows Jessie Campanelli as she confronts the evil that has haunted her Chicago street since childhood. Packed with suspense, psychological tension, and supernatural dread, the book is a gripping continuation of Henry’s celebrated horror storytelling.
Henry will be joined in conversation by Midwest sci-fi and horror author S.A. Barnes (Cold Eternity) for an engaging discussion about her newest novel, the creative process, and the dark secrets that lurk behind seemingly ordinary streets. The event will also include audience Q&A and a book signing.
