The Haunting of Hill House meets Get Out in this chilling YA
psychological thriller and modern take on the classic haunted house
story from New York Times bestselling author Tiffany D. Jackson!
Marigold is running from ghosts. The phantoms of her old life keep
haunting her, but a move with her newly blended family from their
small California beach town to the embattled Midwestern city of
Cedarville might be the fresh start she needs. Her mom has accepted
a new job with the Sterling Foundation that comes with a free
house, one that Mari now has to share with her bratty ten-year-old
stepsister, Piper. The renovated picture-perfect home on Maple
Street, sitting between dilapidated houses, surrounded by wary
neighbors has its . . . secrets. That's only half the problem:
household items vanish, doors open on their own, lights turn off,
shadows walk past rooms, voices can be heard in the walls, and
there's a foul smell seeping through the vents only Mari seems to
notice. Worse: Piper keeps talking about a friend who wants Mari
gone. But "running from ghosts" is just a metaphor, right? As the
house closes in, Mari learns that the danger isn't limited to Maple
Street. Cedarville has its secrets, too. And secrets always find
their way through the cracks. * An Amazon Best Book of the Month *

'The whistling had started on their first night. At first, Layah
thought it was bird song - a high thin sound which became a melody,
rising and falling. And each night, it returned.' Strange things
have been happening to Layah and her younger sister, Izzie, ever
since their mother dragged them to a rain-soaked cottage miles from
anywhere in the Lake District: there is a peculiar whistling at
night, a handful of unusual feathers appear on their doorstep and
there are murmurings of a shadowed woman in the forest. And their
mother is behaving very oddly. Layah is mourning the loss of her
dear grandmother in Poland - and can almost hear her Babcia's voice
telling her the old myths and fairy tales from that magical place.
And as the holiday takes on a dark twist, Layah begins to wonder if
the myths might just be real. A thrilling debut from remarkable new
talent, Eve Wersocki Morris.

From the author of NY Times bestselling Dark and Shallow Lies comes
a darkly atmospheric paranormal thriller, dripping with secrets and
mystery. Seventeen-year-old Avril doesn't believe in ghosts, but
she knows there are lots of different ways for places and people to
be haunted. Twelve years ago her mother drowned at Whisper Cove.
Local legend claims that the women in the waves - the ghosts from
an old whaling village - called her mother into the ocean with
their whispering. Because, as they say at Whisper Cove, what the
sea wants, the sea will have. Avril has spent the past twelve years
trying to make sense of the strange bits and pieces she does
remember from the night she lost her mother. Stars falling into the
sea. A blinding light. The odd sensation of flying. Now, at
seventeen, Avril is returning to Whisper Cove for the first time as
part of a summer theatre camp, and she hopes she might finally
discover what really happened to her mother. As Avril becomes more
involved with camp director Willa and her mysterious son Cole,
Whisper Cove reveals itself to her. Distances seem to shift in the
strange fog. Echos of long-past moments bounce off the marsh. And
Avril keeps meeting herself - and her dead mother - late at night,
at the edge of the ocean. The truth Avril seeks is ready to be
discovered. But it will come at a terrible cost . . .
A psychological horror that will grip you from the first page, and
haunt you long after you've finished the last. Nobody believes
Lindy when she says she doesn't pull her hair out on purpose.
Nobody believes Lindy when she says she hears voices in the night.
Nobody believes Lindy when she says her dead ancestors are haunting
her dreams. Nobody believes Lindy ... After the death of her
father, Lindy falls headlong into a state of grief and no longer
understands her place in the world. Through paranormal rituals,
Ouija boards and spiritualist churches, Lindy attempts to speak to
her father beyond the grave - but to no avail. That is until she
receives a 'visit' from Esme, her Victorian ancestor, who reveals
that her family is under a curse that separates them in the
afterlife. Determined to break it, Lindy sacrifices her grip on
reality. Not everyone wants her to succeed and there are secrets
that fight to remain buried alongside the dead that she seeks . . .
