Wendy Webb has been called the “Queen of the Northern Gothic” for her atmospheric novels set in and around the Great Lakes region. Her standalone novels tend to follow women who arrive at old estates, remote retreats, or small lakeside towns and discover that something is very wrong. The books lean into gothic traditions with modern settings, mixing real-world tension with hints of the supernatural.

Webb started her career contributing to horror and dark fiction anthologies in the 1990s before publishing her first solo novel, The Tale of Halcyon Crane, in 2010. Since then, she has built a steady catalog of standalones that share a common mood: isolated settings, buried secrets, and an unsettling sense that the past is not finished with the present. Daughters of the Lake (2018) became a bestseller after it was featured as an Amazon First Reads pick.
