Coming soon!
Piper Lowery, a public library clerk in charge of liaising with the local middle school, can tell right away there’s something strange about the new girl in eighth grade. Avery Wallace won’t touch any kind of technology, not even the computers at the library, and her mother comes to school with her every day, refusing to leave her side—not even when Avery uses the restroom.
And then there are the rumors, the whispers Piper hears from kids in the hallway and parents around town: Avery’s mother is a witch. Her sister and father were killed by something supernatural. A strange virus killed them.
Seeing how isolated and lonely Avery is, Piper befriends her but quickly realizes it might just be the worst decision she’s ever made. Because there’s something dark inside Avery Wallace, and it’s spreading . . .

13 Months Haunted, by Jimmy Juliano, from Dutton Books. Coming August 12th!
“Ideal for fans of Stephen King and STRANGER THINGS, Jimmy Juliano’s 13 Months Haunted offers fresh and chilling small-town horrors portrayed through the lens of the Internet boom of the early 2000s, blending computer viruses and the nostalgia of hearing ‘You’ve got mail’ with an intimate haunting by a dark force that is pure evil. The story reminds us that some attachments should never be opened, and some friendships pose a deadly cost. Great scary fun.” —Craig DiLouie, author of Episode Thirteen
“An eerie and unnerving tale about unspeakable evil in your inbox, Jimmy Juliano’s 13 Months Haunted pulls off an impressive feat–it makes you afraid to do something you’ve been comfortably doing for years. Important emails will be deleted because of this book. But hey, it’s better to be safe than sorry, right?” —Nick Medina, author of Indian Burial Ground
“Steeped in early-aughts nostalgia and teeming with tension,
13 Months Haunted is an eerie supernatural spookfest that harnesses the spirit of Y2K-era panic to marvelous effect. Through his sly exploration of tech’s insidious side, Jimmy Juliano has crafted an ominous parable for our modern age. You’ll want to read this one with the lights on!”
—Elizabeth McCullough Keenan & Greg Wand
I've been writing and creating since I was a little kid (my childhood greatest hits include Ghostbusters fan-fiction and a pretty egregious rip-off of Casey at the Bat). Nowadays, I stick pretty firmly to the horror and mystery/thriller genres – I grew up loving Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark and movies like Halloween, Psycho, and Jaws, and I've never really grown out of that phase. My writing has been featured on The NoSleep Podcast, the NoSleep Live Tour, and the NoSleep subreddit. You might've come across the stories Uncle Gerry's Family Fun Zone and Why I Didn't Shower for 21 Years. Yep, those are mine.
My debut novel, DEAD ELEVEN, is out now from Dutton Books and Penguin Random House. The book is – you guessed it – a horror/mystery novel, and it was a blast to write. I really hope you enjoy it. My second novel, 13 MONTHS HAUNTED, releases August 12th, 2025.
You can find me on Instagram, Facebook, and Reddit. I live near Chicago with my wife, daughter, and miniature Goldendoodle.
