About the author
Jessica Rudolph is the author of Ghost Houses and its Spanish-language edition Casas Fantasmales, both published by Kodiak Books in 2016 and 2017. The books present four short, illustrated stories about haunted houses, aimed at young readers who enjoy mild scares alongside accessible, easy-to-follow narration. Casas Fantasmales is written in Spanish for readers of that language. Both titles belong to a children's or early-reader nonfiction and folklore series built around brief, self-contained ghost stories rather than sustained investigation or history. Rudolph's work in this catalogue sits squarely in the genre of illustrated youth horror and folklore, introducing young readers to haunted-house tropes, restless spirits, eerie sightings, in short, digestible installments rather than offering a broader survey of the paranormal.
