I've got two books in my shop for all of you Gothic fans! Both of these are in stock over at www.katherinesilvaauthor.com/shop More goodies await there, too... More info in 🧵

I've just started Out of Curiosity and Hunger by @amandamblake.bsky.social. There is such a brilliant, layering quality to this so far. Listening to Sea of Tranquility by Emily St. John Mandel on audiobook. What books are you reading as we head into August?

Yesterday, I posted on my blog about access and privacy, particularly in the case of how readers and fans interact with writers in personal settings. This is something I've struggled with: telling folks 'no' or asking them to respect my privacy whether it's in online spaces or in my day-to-day life.

Don't touch anything. DICHOTOMY arrives March 30th, 2027. Pre-order the hardcover right now in my shop: www.katherinesilvaauthor.com/shop/dichoto...

It's FINALLY here! Ever since Tormentum Dark Sorrows released in 2015, I've been dying for a sequel. It's been a grueling 11 years waiting but today, OhNoo Studios has released Tormentum II. I was inspired in part by Tormentum when I wrote The Wild Dark and, its sequel, The Wild Fall.

I sent out my first early copies of DICHOTOMY to a few friends yesterday. Oh, hey, there's that anxiety disorder manifesting itself. Cue the random screaming.

It is the rabbit..." Don't be a silly sod. Pre-order Dichotomy in hardcover now! www.strangewildspress.com/dichotomy-hardcover

A collection of photos from our vacation week! 1.) Gorgeous holden lilies at the Coastal Botanical Gardens 2.) This beautiful floof of pink and green (also at the gardens) 3.) Stalks of blue foxglove 💙 4.) Canoeing on the lake beneath an incoming storm 🧵

What book releases are you excited about for the rest of 2026? I'm looking forward to all of these titles (and there are so many more I've yet to fully look into).

I'll be at NECON 44 tomorrow (Friday)! I'm excited to spend time with my fellow horror authors. Here's a look at the few panels/readings you'll definitely find me at. *I tend to be a little nervous in big crowds but I love to see familiar faces so please say hello if you see me!

Where the Soul Goes and Vulpine Curse were the first of these newer books and I only hope to keep tapping into true fear the further I go in my works. Dichotomy is next. I can't wait for you all to read it.

My work is moving into a lot of self-examination horror, leaning into the aspects of my life that I've left untouched in my work before now. The things that really scare me. 🧵

We're mid-way through 2026 and I have a bunch of new followers so I updated my ABOUT THE AUTHOR graphic for you guys! I'm at work on some very cool things behind the scenes that I can't wait to show you all. 🧵

Don't get caught. Coming March 30th, 2027. DICHOTOMY is told in two dueling narrative POVs per chapter. Hardcovers are currently up for pre-order on my website. www.katherinesilvaauthor.com/shop/dichotomy-hardcover

Day one of vacation. A morning revising, coffee, and a lakeside view. Later on, pancakes and a day of being on the water. 🖤

"Dreamily horrific..." - Jeremiah, a Goodreads Reviewer Step into the world of Vulpine Curse, a prequel to the beloved Deadlands series. Now available in paperback, ebook, and audiobook. books2read.com/u/mB0Kky

Who said pink couldn't be gothic? Dichotomy takes place after the end of WWII, where women have taken on men's jobs to keep the economy thriving and to succeed outside of the typical roles of wife and mother. Our protagonist is one of these women.

Side-effects from reading DICHOTOMY: The feminine urge to run around in the woods wearing a nightgown. Pre-order your hardcover now. www.katherinesilvaauthor.com/shop/dichotomy-hardcover #dichotomy

The editing process is one of my favorite parts of completing a book. I'm at the halfway point of revising and editing #Dichotomy and I'm loving how this story is blooming. More coffee, more killing of darlings and shaping this into its final form. 🐇

Who else here is *in love* with the Spencer Mansion from RE: Remake? This house is part of the inspiration for the dormitories in Dichotomy...

You can now add DICHOTOMY to your TBR on Goodreads! www.goodreads.com/book/show/25... Make sure you've got the jump (or hop?) on this before it comes out in 2027 and pre-order your copy now. Links in my profile!

Holy shit. This is the first award I've ever won for a book. And it won 2. Still blown away. Thank you to everyone who voted for this story (and me). Thank you also to my fellow nominees! You guys are awesome.
