Jessica Raney

Jessica Raney grew up in the hills of southeastern Ohio looking for the Mothman and every other thing that goes bump in the dark Appalachian night. These days she resides in Houston, Texas and translates her love of Appalachia and dark things into stories that combine crime, fantasy, and horror into Appalachian Supernatural Noir. Her latest novel in that universe, Root and Bone, tells the story of two sisters in 1955 who must use their folk magic to solve a series of murders in their sleepy Appalachian town. When not writing, she’s navigating Houston traffic and enjoying the Gulf Coast with a weird little dog named Gimli. Follow her on Facebook and Instagram.
