Novels
When the Watcher Shakes is Huguenin's first novel, published in 2016. This small-town horror novel tells the story of a patriarchal cult hidden in the mountains of West Virginia, and what happens there when an outsider clashes with the cult's authoritarian leader.

Little One, a ghost thriller set in Canaan Valley, WV, was published the following year in 2017. Publishers Weekly praised the novel as "chilling horror" with a "heart-racing mystery will keep readers wondering who to trust and how the story will end."

Schafer, Huguenin's third novel, is a coming-of-age horror novel set in the fictional town of Augustus Valley, WV during the 1990s. The book was inspired by Edgar Allan Poe's fiction that featured the pseudo-scientific phenomenon of mesmerism and animal magnetism. Schafer is scheduled to be published in 2021 by Bloodshot Books.
