LAURA KEATING
Author of Dark Fiction
The night Joanne went missing, Aggie’s world ended. When a videotape arrives twenty years later containing hints of their sister’s fate, Aggie and her two remaining siblings set off in search of answers and closure. As they track Joanne’s last known movements to the rocky Atlantic coast, their surroundings embrace them almost too completely, and the cryptic tape’s message changes. And changes. And changes again.
Lost in a labyrinthine forest that shifts right in front of their eyes; trapped, exhausted, and pushed to their limits; by day, Aggie and her family struggle to defy the unearthly force that has taken hold of their fate, while by night a hideous figure stalks them from the shadows.

"When my brother came home, four new locks were bought for our house. One for the door to the attic stairs, two for the upper door to the attic itself, and one for the small round window at the corner of the roof, in the attic. The doctor who was brought in (after the locks) said he’d seen similar cases, but nothing quite like this."
