Trisha Tobias

Trisha Tobias debuts with Honeysuckle and Bone, a YA psychological horror novel set in Jamaica. At its center is Carina Marshall, a teenager navigating grief, class divides, and identity struggles after relocating to an estate filled with both history and quiet menace.

Strange occurrences begin to unsettle Carina's new life. Whispered warnings, unexplained deaths, and a growing sense that something far older than her family may still linger in the house. Tobias blends supernatural unease with sharp psychological tension, creating a story where the horror is as much internal as external.

The novel unfolds as a haunting, slow-burn exploration of loss, privilege, and the long echoes of past trauma. The Jamaican setting adds texture and weight, grounding the dread in a place rarely seen in this genre.
