Tabitha Huff-Pfeifer writes stories that linger in the shadows—where memory twists, secrets fester, and even the brightest places hold something dark beneath. A genre-bending author of both psychological thrillers and children’s adventures, her work explores what it means to be brave, broken, and beautifully human.
Her thrillers—The Final Diagnosis, The House Forgets Nothing, BFF: Best Fake Friend, and more—pull readers into morally complex, emotionally haunting worlds that unravel slowly and leave a mark. At the same time, her Phoenix and River Bear Adventures offer young readers a softer kind of suspense: flashlight-lit mysteries, backyard heroes, and the quiet power of facing fears with heart.
Tabitha lives in Columbus, Ohio with her high school sweetheart, Eric, their two boys, Michael and Phoenix, and their golden retriever, River Bear. She draws inspiration from rainy nights, true crime documentaries, and the wild stories her kids dream up at bedtime. Whether she’s writing about haunted houses or hidden trapdoors, she believes the most powerful stories are the ones that make us feel less alone in the dark.
