Ah sorry! Scrolled too fast and missed the whole last paragraph, how embarrassing 🤦🏻♀️I can’t seem to find exact locations mentioned, but maybe one of the local Alabama authors mentioned here has something set in the state. https://apls.libguides.com/c.php?g=1186134&p=8684851
Idaho - Beulah by Christi Nogle!
Was coming here to make this exact recommendation
Amazing thank you! It’s on kindle unlimited too!
Thank you! Looking this up! It sounds familiar, I think it was nominated for a Stoker, maybe?
It won Christi a Stoker for Debut Novel! And it is a fantastic read.
The Secret Skin by Wendy N. Wagner is set in Oregon, I think. Sawmill Gothic.
I have Kin by Kealan Patrick Burke on my list for Alabama, but haven’t read it yet!
Except I need the book to be written by a woman for this project

Sorry for the self-promo, but CORPORATE BODY by R.A. Busby is set in Las Vegas, Nevada!
Also YOU WILL SPEAK FOR THE
DEAD, which I set in a fictionalized version of the Vegas neighborhood I used to live in. :-)
Verity. Cynthia Lee. Southern Gothic horror.
Oregon- The Devil Crept In- Ania Ahlborn
Colorado - The Blood of Seven by... ME! hehehe!
Sunburn by Laura Lippman is a noir/thriller set in Delaware. It's been on my TBR list for a while but I haven't read it yet!
Idaho: Steph Nelson, The Vein and Sawtooth; Noelle W. Ihli, Ask for Andrea and The Thicket; and my own novel Beulah
Oregon: Wendy N. Wagner, Girl in the Creek (forthcoming February, probably available in arc soon)
I just picked up your book for Idaho! Thank you, perfect recommendations. Definitely going to request that Wendy Wagner one, I saw the cover! 👀
Thank you! Yes, I am really excited about Wendy's book and hope to read it early too!
It’s thriller, but The Bird’s Nest by Shirley Jackson could work for New York
Christa Carmen- Daughters of Block Island. Set in Rhode Island
Wait, I have Rhode Island covered. Plain, Bad, Heroines.
Furnace by Livia Llewellyn has stories based in Washington. (I think there is one based in Oregon, too.)
Short stories by Flannery O’Connor and her novel Wise Blood. Southern Gothic!
I recommend American Rapture by CJ Leede for Wisconsin.
Minnesota - Bones & All
