NYT, Indie, & USAToday Bestselling author (and Season 6 guest) Hannah Whitten, my first Season 14 guest!

I had so much fun catching up with Hannah Whitten, a New York Times, Indie, and USAToday bestselling author (and Season 6 Tightwires guest!) ahead of the release of her horror debut RELIQUARY!

Topics of discussion included: Biology class, Hannah’s favorite horror films, ocean research, a creepy cake recipe, & themes of grief, hollowness, anger, and “missing yourself.”

**All spoilers in the final scene!**

RELIQUARY will be released August 11, 2026, and is available for preorder here: https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/hannah-f-whitten/reliquary/9781668655740/
