Suzy McKee Charnas Books in Order

In the brutal Holdfast, men rule through fear, hierarchy, and the enslavement of women they call fems. Alldera's flight into the wider wasteland turns a nightmare survival story into the opening move of a much larger rebellion.

After escaping the Holdfast, Alldera reaches the grassland tribes of free women and learns that freedom comes with its own rules, myths, and costs. The book widens the world and shifts the story from flight to reinvention.

Anthropology professor Edward Weyland looks human, but he is a biological vampire who has spent centuries learning how to pass. When his careful routine starts to crack, predator and prey alike are forced into a dangerous intimacy.

When a great statue vanishes from Central Park, Manhattan teenager Valentine Marsh is pulled into a magical struggle beneath the city's ordinary surface. With help from a mysterious fiddler, she must face a hungry force rising out of the subway dark.

This opening Greystone Bay volume is a shared-world horror anthology set in a foggy coastal town where the uncanny feels local and everyday. The stories are linked by place, mood, and the sense that something is always wrong there.

A reclusive artist near Taos is haunted by violent dreams, an old ghost, and the sudden arrival of people who need her help. Dorothea Dreams mixes art, politics, grief, and the supernatural in a very human ghost story.

The second Greystone Bay anthology returns to the same eerie seaside town for more quiet, unsettling horror. Instead of one continuous plot, it builds its power through atmosphere, recurring place, and stories that suggest the whole town is haunted.

Valentine's grandmother disappears just as a charming new school psychologist arrives in New York with very bad intentions. Armed with a magic glove and a stubborn streak, Val has to protect her family from a wizard who feeds on souls.

A compact science fiction story about timing, pressure, and an ordinary situation that becomes impossible to manage. Even in a small space, Willis turns confusion and human error into both comedy and trouble.

A strange magical event draws Valentine and her friends into the orbit of Bosanka Lonat, a hard, demanding visitor from another world. To stop her from using them, Val must test her power, her judgment, and her loyalty.

Guests arrive at an old hotel on the fog-wrapped shore expecting rest and charm, and find Greystone Bay at its most unnerving. This shared-world anthology turns rooms, corridors, and gardens into stages for elegant, eerie horror.

This short collection brings together Scorched Supper on New Niger and The Ancient Mind at Work. One piece follows a stranded pilot on a tense colonial world, the other offers an early and unsettling Edward Weyland vampire tale.

The last Greystone Bay volume gathers more stories of strange weather, emotional extremes, and lurking evil in the Massachusetts seaside town. It is quieter than splatter horror, and stronger on atmosphere than tidy answers.

Amy chases the troubled Kevin Malone through Central Park and into the fantasy realm he built to escape his abusive father. What follows is a quest story rooted in grief, fear, and the stubborn hope of adolescence.

Alldera leads free women back toward the Holdfast, hoping to shatter the old order for good. But victory is never simple, and the fiercest battles may come from divided loyalties inside the revolution itself.

Charnas reimagines the end of The Phantom of the Opera as a darker bargain between Christine and Erik. The novella becomes part horror tale, part captivity drama, and part sharp rethink of Beauty and the Beast.

An actress becomes entangled with a vampire, Baron Ivo con Cragga, after taking a role tied to an older European darkness. The Ruby Tear plays like gothic horror with romance, performance, and menace all tangled together.

In the title story, battered human survivors make contact with an alien species through music after civilization has burned itself out. It is a compact science fiction piece about grief, communication, and the fragile persistence of beauty.

The last Holdfast novel follows a younger generation into the uneasy aftermath of conquest. As old enemies, children, and competing futures collide, the series asks what kind of world can actually be built after revolution.

This e-book collection gathers four dark tales, including Unicorn Tapestry, Boobs, Evil Thoughts, and Charnas's Phantom retelling. Vampires, werewolves, witches, and damaged people all meet here in smart, unsettling ways.

In this nonfiction book, Charnas explores years of personal experience with psychic phenomena, ancestors, and the pull of the sea peoples. It is part memoir, part spiritual inquiry, and much stranger than her fiction.

This two-act play adapts Unicorn Tapestry for the stage, keeping the tense contest between psychiatrist Floria Landauer and vampire Edward Weyland at its center. It is an intimate, talky, psychologically charged version of Charnas's vampire world.

Charnas recounts bringing her estranged father from New York to New Mexico when he could no longer live alone. The memoir is unsentimental, funny, and painful as it follows their late-life bond through care, anger, and grace.

A retrospective collection of dark fantasy and horror stories, plus essays about writing and adaptation. It brings together Charnas's vampires, werewolves, stage phantoms, and sharp eye for the way performance and power feed each other.

This slim two-story science fiction volume pairs Charnas's Scorched Supper on New Niger with a newer writer's tale. Charnas's contribution follows pilot Dee Steinway, her cat companion, and a desperate landing that may be escape or trap.

A faith-based self-help book about facing fear, shame, comparison, abuse, and self-doubt with greater awareness and spiritual hope. It aims to help readers name the struggles that trap them and move toward steadier, freer lives.
