​Some stories haunt you. Others make you question everything you thought you knew.

​Join us at Long Dark House for an evening with Dr. Todd Brown, author of Anna So Knows 'Ya, a haunting psychological thriller exploring grief, paranoia, obsession, and the terrifying possibility that reality isn't quite what it seems.

​We'll sit down with Todd to discuss his debut novel, the psychology of fear, the unsettling corners of human behavior, and the creative process behind a story where the truth becomes increasingly difficult to trust.

​Stick around after the conversation for an audience Q&A, book signing, and a chance to meet the author!

​About the Book

​Anna So Knows 'Ya

​John Simons is a crime reporter who has built his career on facts. He knows how to separate rumor from evidence and truth from noise.

​But when the noise begins acknowledging him, everything changes.

​A mysterious tapping sound appears on his bedroom wall. His boss, Anna So, takes on increasingly sinister significance. And as bodies begin surfacing across the East Side, John finds himself drawn into a disturbing mystery that seems to know him far too intimately.

​The deeper he digs, the more his grip on reality begins to unravel.

​Anna So Knows 'Ya is a psychological thriller about grief, paranoia, obsession, and the horror of realizing that reality...and the people around you..may not be what they seem.
