'It's a terrible story and one way to tell it is this: two girls in
love and a fog of wasps cursed the place forever after...'
BROOKHANTS SCHOOL FOR GIRLS: Infamous site of a series of tragic
deaths over a hundred years ago. Soon to be the subject of a
controversial horror movie about the rumoured 'Brookhants curse':
In the early 1900's, Brookhants students Flo and Clara fell madly
in love, brought together by their obsession for a scandalous
memoir. A few months later they were found dead in the woods, after
a horrific wasp attack, the book lying next to their intertwined
bodies. Three more grisly deaths followed before the school was
forced to close. Now, the school's doors are open once more. But as
the crew of glamorous young actresses assemble to start filming,
past and present begin to blur. And soon it's impossible to tell
quite where the curse ends and Hollywood begins...

Set in rural Montana in the early 1990s, emily m. danforth's The
Miseducation of Cameron Post is a powerful and widely acclaimed YA
coming-of-age novel in the tradition of the classic Annie on My
Mind. Cameron Post feels a mix of guilt and relief when her parents
die in a car accident. Their deaths mean they will never learn the
truth she eventually comes to-that she's gay. Orphaned, Cameron
comes to live with her old-fashioned grandmother and
ultraconservative aunt Ruth. There she falls in love with her best
friend, a beautiful cowgirl. When she's eventually outed, her aunt
sends her to God's Promise, a religious conversion camp that is
supposed to "cure" her homosexuality. At the camp, Cameron comes
face to face with the cost of denying her true identity. The
Miseducation of Cameron Post is a stunning and provocative literary
debut that was a finalist for the YALSA Morris Award and was named
to numerous "best" lists.
