Paperback: Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Bookshop
There’s no getting used to the strange. That’s the philosophy of Margaret Willow, and as a supposed expert in the supernatural, or allegedly a modern witch, she’s seen a strange thing or two, and even lived to tell about it.
But she’s never met an eleven-year-old as dangerous as Natalie Glasgow.
Ever since the death of Natalie’s father, her family has found themselves caught in a series of bizarre experiences of their own. Unexplainable, irrational, and yet all too real. Has a demon latched onto Natalie’s soul? Or are her family’s circumstances bound up in the aftermath of her dead father?
The Ghostlands of Natalie Glasgow collects the original 2018 Natalie Glasgow novella, The Possession of Natalie Glasgow, along with six all-new interconnected stories following Margaret, Natalie, her family, and their entanglements in their haunted pasts and ghostly futures.

“Downright chilling. Every page is as dread-inducing as a creaking footstep in an empty house. These linked stories of hauntings and possessions are exceptional in their imagination, and with compelling characters, sharp prose, and swift pacing, this collection has all the makings of a horror classic. Hailey Piper is a remarkable talent.”
– Rachel Harrison, USA Today Bestselling author of Cackle and Black Sheep
“Eerie and thoroughly engrossing. The haunting world of Natalie Glasgow lures you into the shroud of the unknown and won’t let go. I couldn’t put it down!”
– K.P. Kulski, author of Fairest Flesh
