Description

"One of the most haunted novels I've ever read." 
—Clay McLeod Chapman, author of Wake Up and Open Your Eyes

Parents should pass down stories, not spirits…

Avery and Carlos Tam have built their lives on logic, not legends. Carlos, the host of a hit reality show that exposes paranormal hoaxes, has made a name disproving the supernatural.

But when they travel to his ancestral home in the Philippines, darkness clings to every corner. The mirrors are shrouded. The housekeeper won't stay in the house alone. And no one will speak of the tragedies the family has seen.

Then a brutal car crash leaves Carlos trapped in his own body—silent, helpless, and utterly vulnerable. As Avery tends to him, the house begins to stir. It watches. It listens. And it speaks—in a voice only Carlos can hear—offering a twisted kind of comfort.

And as the lies buried by Carlos and his family begin to surface, Avery must confront the truth: if the past won't rest, their future may never begin.

Some inherit memories. Others inherit monsters.

Advance Praise

"Page for page, ounce for ounce, She Waits Where Shadows Gather may be one of the most haunted novels I've ever read. There's a part of me that doesn't want to pick up the book after finishing it, ever again, it feels so soaked in the supernatural. What did Michelle Tang summon to possess her stunning horror debut novel and how do I exorcise it?"
—Clay McLeod Chapman, author of Wake Up and Open Your Eyes

"She Waits Where Shadows Gather takes horror to new heights with this fresh take on ghosts, witchcraft, and possession with Filipino folklore. This should be on the top of everyone's 2026 most anticipated list. It is outstanding storytelling."
— V. Castro, two-time Bram Stoker Award nominated author
