Katherine Howe (born 1977) is an American novelist who lives in New England and New York City.[1] She specializes in historical novels which she uses to query ideas about "the contingent nature of reality and belief."[2] Her debut novel was the New York Times Bestseller The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane (2009), related to the Salem witch trials. Its success led to her being a guest on several TV news shows, as well as "Salem: Unmasking The Devil" on the National Geographic Channel.

She has also written The House of Velvet and Glass, Conversion, The Appearance of Annie Van Sinderen (2015),[3][4] and A True Account (2023).[5] Her fiction has been translated into more than 20 languages.
