Monsters Under the Magnolias: Haints, Howls, and Hospitality in a Small Southern Town (Haunted South Book 1)

Now a CIBAs finalist!

Welcome to Madison, Georgia, where magnolias bloom, tea is sweet, and monsters are very real.

In this cozy horror collection, the charming town of Madison hides secrets in its flowerbeds and shadows in its attics. Behind every wrought-iron fence and sun-warmed porch lies something unexpected: a banshee in the carriage house, a wight who prefers crossword puzzles to haunting, a wendigo who wears sweaters by the fire, and other cryptids who just want someone to see them.

But don’t be fooled by the cobblestone streets and Southern charm. The ghouls here are real and friendship has a habit of growing in the strangest places.

Monsters Beneath the Magnolias is a heartwarming, haunting collection of cozy horror stories filled with unexpected friendships, second chances, and tea-sipping terror. Perfect for fans of Legends & Lattes with a dash of Goosebumps for grownups.

Settle in, pour yourself a glass of sweet tea, and keep one eye on the door at night. I think I heard something scratching.
