Emily M. Danforth has published two novels, and both made a significant impression. The Miseducation of Cameron Post, her 2012 debut, is a young adult novel about a teenage girl sent to a conversion therapy camp in Montana. It was adapted into a 2018 film starring Chloe Grace Moretz.

Her second novel, Plain Bad Heroines (2020), is a very different book. It is a gothic, multi-timeline story about a cursed New England boarding school and a modern film crew trying to make a movie about its history. The two books show Danforth’s range as a writer, moving from a grounded coming-of-age story to a layered, atmospheric horror-adjacent novel.
