We’re thrilled to welcome New York Times bestselling author Karen White to the Southern Gothic Festival.
Best known for her beloved Tradd Street novels set in historic Charleston, White’s stories blend family secrets, restless spirits, and the lingering presence of the past. Her work captures something essential about the South — the way memory clings to its streets, its houses, and its people.
If you’re drawn to atmospheric storytelling where history and mystery intertwine, this is an author you won’t want to miss in person.
More authors and speakers will be announced soon as the full festival program unfolds.
