A macabre and chilling supernatural gothic horror about a group of teenagers cursed to die on their 18th birthday from the Stoker Award shortlisted author of The Book of the Baku. Perfect for fans of Clay McLeod Chapman, The September House by Carissa Orlando and The Shining Girls by Lauren Beukes.Flynn and her friends plan to spend the night in Temple Fall, a mysterious house up on the moors with a strange history, but their planned night of drinking and teenage debauchery twists into a surreal nightmare. Suddenly forced into strange choices and places, the tight–knit group starts to fall apart. And then Jackson falls to his death.In the days that come after, Flynn finds herself trapped, as if she never left the house. Consumed by the lost secrets of her family past, and haunted by the specter of a Victorian woman, she finds herself losing time and seeing things that aren’t there.Reeling from the tragedy, Flynn must rebuild her group of friends, and bring them all together to grieve—and try to survive—on their own. Because while they escaped Temple Fall, the house didn’t let them go . . .

We follow a bunch of teenagers on a camping trip for one of their eighteenth birthday. They plan to camp on the grounds of an old, derelict house but a storm drives them......more
