Katrina Monroe

Minnesota author (and private investigator) Katrina Monroe is celebrating the release of her third book, the haunted-house tale Through the Midnight Door. With her gutsy and visceral prose, Monroe is the perfect narrator for this supernatural family-trauma thriller about three sisters who as children explored an abandoned haunted house in their neighborhood. The darkness within followed them out and chased them across the decades — claiming one of them and ensnaring the other two. It’s creepy as hell, but we wouldn’t expect anything less from a writer whose previous books are titled Graveyard of Lost Children and They Drown Our Daughters.

media release: A Room of One's Own is thrilled to welcome Katrina Monroe and Carissa Greve for a reading and conversation on Katrina's new book Through the Midnight Door. Join us to kick off spooky season with the horrors of family trauma and the supernatural!

This is an in person event at A Room of One's Own.

About the Book

As emotional as it is haunting, Through the Midnight Door explores the sometimes-fragile bonds of sisterhood and the way deeply rooted trauma can pass from generation to generation.

Three sisters. Three keys. Three unspeakable horrors.

The Finch sisters once spent long, hot summers exploring the dozens of abandoned properties littering their dying town—until they found an impossible home with an endless hall of doors…and three keys left waiting for them. Curious, fearless, they stepped inside their chosen rooms, and experienced horrors they never dared speak of again.

Now, years later, youngest sister Claire has been discovered dead in that old, desiccated house. With the house once again pulling them ever-closer, Meg and Esther must find the connection between their sister's death and the shadow that has chased them across the years…before the darkness claims them, too

Katrina Monroe is the author of They Drown Our Daughters, Graveyard of Lost Children, and Through the Midnight Door. She lives in Minnesota with her wife, two children, and Eddie, the ghost who haunts their bedroom closets.
