Description
A haunting contemporary horror novel explores themes of mental illness, rage, and grief in this spine-chilling tale. Following her father's death, Jane North-Robinson moves from California to Maine with her mother, seeking a fresh start. However, their new home, North Manor, holds secrets that leave them feeling more alone and tormented. As the autumn season arrives, Jane finds solace in old books and memories of her dad, but also faces bullying from a resident "bad seed". Her mother's return to the childhood home seems to be spiraling with grief, but she won't reveal why. A discovery in the locked storage room reveals a little girl's bedroom, left untouched for years - but is it empty, or inhabited by something more sinister? This novel weaves together elements of psychological horror and suspense, exploring the complexities of mental illness and the devastating power of grief.
