Nicole Lundrigan writes standalone novels that blend literary fiction with psychological darkness. Her debut, Unraveling Arva (2003), and the novels that followed, Thaw (2005) and The Seary Line (2008), established her as a writer drawn to isolated communities and the secrets they keep. Glass Boys (2011) is set in a small Newfoundland town where an accidental death decades earlier continues to poison relationships between two families.
The Widow Tree (2013) shifted the setting to 1960s Yugoslavia, while The Substitute (2017) and Hideaway (2019) moved into suburban territory where domestic routines hide something more sinister. An Unthinkable Thing (2022), inspired by a real murder case from 1950s Newfoundland, and A Man Downstairs (2024) represent her recent work. The nine novels share a common approach: quiet, observant prose that builds unease gradually rather than relying on sudden shocks.
