Raised in a small town in upstate New York, she draws from personal experiences and a keen interest in gothic literature to craft narratives that blend psychological depth with atmospheric tension.

Braffet's writing often examines the fragility of relationships against backdrops of decay and secrecy, earning her praise for its unflinching emotional honesty and evocative prose. She lives in Brooklyn with her husband and continues to push the boundaries of literary suspense.
