As part of the Quills & Chills Pride Series, I'm thrilled to welcome back returning guest Jill Baguchinsky to discuss her haunting new novel, May the Dead Keep You.

We dive into the story of Catie East, who has spent years living in a secluded historic home deep within Northern California's redwood forests. When a botanist and his son, Hunter, move into the property's guest cottage, Katie discovers a mysterious connection that allows the two teens to bring dead things back to life. What follows is a chilling exploration of grief, guilt, family secrets, forgiveness, and the lingering shadows of the past.

Jill shares the inspiration behind the novel, the house's dark history revealed through the book's ephemera, her favorite scenes, the influence of Wuthering Heights, and the creative process behind crafting its slow-burning gothic atmosphere.
