With language both moving and subtly terrifying, Kathleen M. Wright presents a picture of a girl dealing with frightening visions and escaping from a terrible reality into an imaginative fantasy that may be even more frightening. It’s at once horrifying and overwhelming but still reminiscent of fears and hopes perhaps all have experienced and forgotten as childhood gave way to adulthood.
Warning: This book contains disturbing and horrific content and is intended for mature audiences. Parents are strongly cautioned to listen to this material in order to determine if the subject matter is appropriate for a young adult in their care.
Here is a preview:
She pointed as she cringed from the corner where the insects had swarmed before the light flashed on and made them disappear. She sobbed. “B-b-bees. There’re bees in the wall. They’re crawling out of the roses.” She was old enough to know how ridiculous it sounded, but her body was still shaking and she could feel things crawling on her skin.
His face was instantly furious. “What the...?” He smacked his hand on her wall, making her jump. “There are no damn bees, Misty! Look! No! Damn! Bees!” He beat the wall wildly up, down and then everywhere.
Then her mother appeared and Misty was allowed to cry loudly and demand attention. Her mom pulled her into her safe arms and she finally let her sobs loose. She squeezed her tired eyes closed tightly, keeping more away than the possible sight of fat, hairy bees.
Misty’s mother held her a moment longer before her father pulled her back and then pushed her out of the room, but not before she blew frantic air kisses to her only daughter still shaking in her bed and still feeling the kiss of the bees’ wings as clearly as she sometimes felt the final breath of the old lady who had lived and died in the middle of the same heavy pink garden.
“Go back to sleep. You were dreaming. It’s nothing.” She tried to ignore her father’s voice, focusing on her empty doorway, willing her mom to come back and defend her.
Then the light was off.

When Margaret and her husband Hal bought the large Victorian house on Hawthorn Street—for sale at a surprisingly reasonable price—they couldn’t believe they finally had a home of their own. Then they discovered the hauntings. Every September, the walls drip blood. The ghosts of former inhabitants appear, and all of them are terrified of something that lurks in the basement. Most people would flee. Margaret is not most people. Margaret is staying.

When Louise finds out her parents have died, she dreads going home. She doesn’t want to leave her daughter with her ex and fly to Charleston. She doesn’t want to deal with her family home, stuffed to the rafters with the remnants of her father’s academic career and her mother’s lifelong obsession with puppets and dolls. She doesn’t want to learn how to live without the two people who knew and loved her best in the world. Most of all, she doesn’t want to deal with her brother, Mark, who never left their hometown, gets fired from one job after another, and resents her success.

No one knows your darkness like your own Shadow. Nothing has been normal for Teddy, not since discovering the harsh identity of the monster he had been living with his whole life - his own father. Teddy and his mother leave that behind to start over in a small Indiana township. But as Teddy begins to learn of humanity's monsters, he unveils an otherworldly evil he calls "The Shadow". The Shadow tests Teddy's vulnerability and growing sense of isolation, poisoning his mind and conjuring a vile killer-in-the-making.

For all of Emory's life she's been told who she is. In town she's the rich one—the great-great-granddaughter of the mill's founder. At school she's hot Maddie Ward's younger sister. And at home, she's the good one, her stoner older brother Joey's babysitter. Everything was turned on its head, though, when she and Joey were in the car accident that killed Candy MontClaire. The car accident that revealed just how bad Joey's drug habit was.

By the time she was in her teens, Diamond had lived dozens of lives and lies, but as she grew older, love and trust turned to fear and violence, and her family—the only people she had in the world—began to unravel. She started to realize that her life itself might be a big con, and the people she loved, the most dangerous of all. With no way out and her identity burned so often that she had no proof she even existed, all that was left was a girl from nowhere.

Thirty-two-year-old Jess Abbot has lost everything: her job, her apartment, and - most heart-wrenching - her eight-year-old son, Chance, to a tragic accident. Haunted by memories and grief, Jess packs what’s left and heads for the small mountain town of Pine Lake, where she takes a position as caregiver to an eccentric old woman. A rumored clairvoyant, Lucy is strange but welcoming and immediately intuits Jess as a “loose end” in need of closure. But Jess isn’t the only guest in Lucy’s large Victorian home.
