Olivia Helena Reichard

Olivia Helena Reichard writes atmospheric horror where history, folklore, and the supernatural converge.

A lifelong student of history and an incurably curious investigator of the unexplained, she is drawn to forgotten stories, ancient beliefs, and the uncomfortable possibility that the past is never quite finished with us. Her fiction explores the boundaries between what we know, what we believe, and what we might discover if we dare to look a little closer.

A native of Northern California, Olivia finds inspiration in fog-shrouded landscapes, old cemeteries, forgotten architecture, and the quiet mysteries concealed within ordinary places.

When she isn't writing, she can usually be found pursuing an obscure historical question, wandering through a museum, photographing something beautifully peculiar, or disappearing into a library with absolutely no intention of emerging anytime soon.
