Claire Holloway

Claire Holloway writes psychological thrillers about the things small towns bury — and what happens when someone starts digging. Her novel Everything She Buried follows Nora Hale back to Wrenfield, Maine, to clear out her late mother's Victorian house, only to find hidden notes, disappearing diaries, and a best friend's disappearance nineteen years cold that everyone in town would rather forget. Claire is fascinated by unreliable memory, family secrets, and the lies we tell to protect the people we love. Her stories unfold in fog, in old houses with locked rooms, and in the space between what we remember and what really happened. She believes the most frightening monsters are the ones we have been living with all along — and that the truth, once unearthed, can never be buried again.
