edit data

C. M. Lehsten writes stories that will haunt your dreams long after the last page. Author of Festival, and other dark tales, she crafts horror that creeps from the shadows of Western New York—where the mist of Niagara Falls and the forests of Letchworth State Park seem to whisper secrets. Even before she could write, she spun sinister adventures for her imaginary friend, a habit that grew into a lifelong love of chilling storytelling. When not conjuring nightmares, she enjoys spoiling her grandchildren and exploring the woods with her husband of over thirty years—though she suspects some of those woods are better left alone.
