of letters unsent and messages unheard (1996) This series of short phone messages and letters follows the breakup of Sam Jordan and Penelope Walker. Through the correspondence, we follow Sam's reactions his girlfriend's leaving him, including his anger, jealousy, and eventually, his acceptance about the situation, until he is finally able to erase the answering machine message that they had recorded together, and which he had, until then, refused to change. Published in Writer's Digest after winning a Breakthrough Author contest in late ' 96, Of Letters is Harlem's first published work.

hard candy (1999) Hard Candy is a novel about Hayley Stark, a 14-year-old girl who meets Jeff, a 32-year-old photographer who might be a sexual predator. The two first get to know each other on the Internet before meeting in person at a local coffee shop, which results in a trip to Jeff's home; however, Jeff soon learns that Hayley is not as innocent as she appears.

spare honeymoon (2002) After a nasty break up and the dissolution of her engagement to the perfectly perfect Peter, marriage-hungry Madeleine had to decide whether it was better to just let him go - or get even. The perfect opportunity came when he had to go on a business trip shortly after, leaving all of his belongings in the apartment they'd shared. Leaving his things behind like a trail of breadcrumbs, Madeleine went on a quest that mended her heart, soothed her spite, and found the strength to move on. Featured in Oprah's Book Club.

red letter (2006) Abigail Huntsley was framed, but no one would believe her. A good Puritan woman, she had never disobeyed the rules or broken the law - and now she found herself preparing for trial on accounts of witchcraft, partnership with Satan, and adultery. She has two weeks to either prove her innocence, or accept a deal made to her by a man who makes her shudder in terror, and who has offered her the chance at freedom. The only price is her spiritual purity.

of a bibliophile (2006) After a serial killer with a strange message shows up in San Francisco, it's up to Clarence, a fresh out of the water profiler for the FBI, to find out what the messages mean and why the murderer is using what appear to be quotes from random literature to get his words across to the public who, Clarence cynically mused to his superiors, probably don't have the foggiest idea of where the quotes are from or what they mean - he sure as hell doesn't.

vellum (2007 -- only released online) Following the trail of a family legend, Reynard Guy Carter finds The Book of All Hours, aka the Vellum, a blueprint for all creation written by the scribe of God after the word was spoken. Carter thereafter wanders the strange, deserted worlds of the Vellum, while angels and demons, the Covenant and the Sovereigns, battle for control of the order of everything. Within the Vellum, Phreedom Messenger is on a quest to find her brother that will lead her to the very depths of the underworld in a movement parallel to Innana's descent to the underworld of Ereshkigal; and Seamus Finnan, her brother's betrayer and an old friend, is, like Prometheus, bound for his sins. The paths the three characters follow become a scintillating web of journeys across worlds and through the three dimensions of time. Harlem's version of a battle among the messengers of divinity proves fascinating as it takes unexpected turns within the framework of ancient myths.

house of leaves (2008) Johnny Truant, a wild and troubled sometime employee in a LA tattoo parlour, finds a notebook kept by Zampano, a reclusive old man found dead in a cluttered apartment. Herein is the heavily annotated story of the Navidson Report. Will Navidson, a photojournalist, and his family move into a new house. What happens next is recorded on videotapes and in interviews. Now the Navidsons are household names. Zampano, writing on loose sheets, stained napkins, crammed notebooks, has compiled what must be the definitive work on the events on Ash Tree Lane. But Johnny Truant has never heard of the Navidson Record. Nor has anyone else he knows. And the more he reads about Will Navidson's house, the more frightened he becomes. Paranoia besets him. The worst part is that he can't just dismiss the notebook as the ramblings of a crazy old man. He's starting to notice things changing around him...
