The Night Pool - Lauren Lee Smith

Smith, Lauren Lee: - nLauren Lee Smith was born and raised in rural Northern California Gold Country on Nisenan land, and grew up with history all around her, from pioneer cemeteries to gold mines to Native American caves and grinding rocks. As a mother, mental health advocate, and history lover, her work often explores maternal mental health, trauma, male brutality, and the historical intersections of diverse cultures through the lens of feminist horror. She lives by the sea in Southern California with her family, four dogs, two cats, and enjoys growing old fashioned roses and writing scary movies for Hollywood that confront the darker, more taboo elements of the feminine experience. The Night Pool is her first novel.n
