Pate Jennings writes modern Gothic horror and psychological thrillers that explore the darker edges of human experience, in which atmosphere and moral ambiguity shape both character and setting. Her work reflects a keen awareness of how the past lingers within places and people alike, shaped in part by her career as a professor of composition and literature. Her debut novel, The Manor amongst the Oaks is now available for purchase on Amazon:  https://a.co/d/70JPdCK.
