Museum staff say they've heard a name whispered from beneath the floorboards: "Pyewacket" – the name of a 17th-century witch's familiar. 😱 For more chills, plus first news of new books, join my free newsletter 👇 michellepaver.com/newsletter…

'No book with a brown cover has ever sold.' That was a buyer's verdict on the Wolf Brother jacket in 2003. It became a logo - and a few tattoos. RAINFOREST is out in paperback today. The dead are closer than you think. 📖 amzn.to/4A3f5Gj #Rainforest #GhostStory

The three stages: too young, too crude, then John Fordham saw my book on the Chauvet cave paintings — and sent this. We knew at once. More in this month's letter: michellepaver.com/newsletter…

As the year winds down I’m wishing you a peaceful stretch between Christmas and early January — that strange, suspended time when routines pause and there’s space to read, think, and write. Thank you for all your messages and generosity this year. Stay steady — and happy reading!

Thank you to everyone who came to my recent events, and for your kind words about Rainforest. Every winter I return to my battered old volumes of ghost stories —and this year I’ve put together a list of my favourite writers in my newsletter: michellepaver.com/newsletter…

Thrilled after a genuinely great event at @WaterstonesNG on All Souls’ Night: a big, warm, enthusiastic audience, and a marvellous chat about all things ghostly. Huge thanks to Kibrina et al for hosting; a joy to be with supernatural aficionados dressed for the occasion!

Among the audience at @GoldsboroBooks, it was lovely to say hi to Francesca Simon — and a real thrill to meet one of my favourite actresses, the great Miranda Richardson. She’s long been a fan of my Arctic ghost story Dark Matter — which made my night! 🥶✨ #GothicFiction

A fab witch-themed night at @GoldsboroBooks with fellow authors @C_J_Cooke_Author & @SydMoore1. We explored why dark tales endure — from haunted coastlines to Arctic wastes, folklore to the human psyche. Step into the shadows… 🌙 🔗 michellepaver.com/newsletter

Had a wonderful evening signing Rainforest at @toppingsely in Ely – one of my favourite independent bookshops. Thank you to everyone who braved Wednesday night – especially old friend Ryan, a huge fan of the Wolf Brother books, and Valda from @Waterstones BuryStEdmunds

Lovely live audience at last night’s @AlwaysTakeNotes podcast @WimbledonBookFest — extra special for me, as it was held in Wimbledon Library, which I’ve been visiting since I was nine! Huge thanks to Rachel & Simon for their thoughtful questions! #WimbledonBookFest

“Rainforest” is unlike anything I’ve written before — beautiful, dangerous, and I hope profoundly unsettling. Love to know what you think! 🌿 michellepaver.com #Rainforest #MichellePaver #GothicFiction #GhostStory #Supernatural

I’ve never talked about this before — but for a while, I couldn’t write at all. In my new video, I explain what happened… and how I found my way back. 🎥 Watch here. #MichellePaver #WritingLife #Creativity #Rainforest #WritersBlock
