Leanna Renee Hieber writes at the intersection of Gothic fiction, Victorian history, and paranormal romance. Her debut novel, The Strangely Beautiful Tale of Miss Percy Parker (2009), introduced readers to a gaslit world of ghosts, mythology, and forbidden love that has become her signature territory.

Her body of work includes several distinct series: the Strangely Beautiful saga, which spans eight books of Victorian supernatural drama; the Eterna Files trilogy, blending Civil War-era history with occult mystery; Magic Most Foul, a young adult Gothic series; and the Spectral City novels, set in Gilded Age New York with a medium as the protagonist. She has also written non-fiction, including A Haunted History of Invisible Women (2022) and America’s Most Gothic (2025).

Hieber is also an actress and ghost tour guide in New York City, and her theatrical background infuses her fiction with a strong sense of atmosphere and drama.
