Ah, she hasn’t written many in a modern setting and she’s probably weakest there, honestly: 19th century works well for her. Was it The Twisted Ones? That was her first foray into horror, I think, and it’s a bit uneven but I liked it well enough.

A House with Good Bones, and I think The Hollow Places are both set around the same fictional North Carolina town too. I think the highs of her contemporary horror are higher than the historical ones I've read, but they drop off hard after the monsters show up.
