Benedict’s standalone novels each explore a different corner of dark fiction. Isabella Moon (2007) was her debut, a literary thriller about a dead girl who appears to a newcomer in a small Southern town. Calling Mr. Lonely Hearts (2008) and Devil’s Oven (2012) continued in a similar vein.
The Stranger Inside (2019) brought her wider attention, with a premise built on a real legal concept: a homeowner returns to find someone else has moved in and changed the locks, and the law is not on her side.
