After her parents' high-profile divorce, sixteen-year-old Paige is forced to leave Los Angeles for a rambling Victorian mansion in small-town Idaho where she soon notices strange occurrences that seem to be building toward some unspeakable horror.

Diary of a Haunting

In a diary, Melanie recounts the strange events that occur in her town--which is dominated by a conservative mega-church--after she and her friends experiment with witchcraft by using a mysterious spell book.

Book of Shadows

"The mixed-media diary of a girl whose strange illness, which doctors cannot seem to crack, may have its origins in something dark and ancient--an entity that takes pleasure in controlling her mind, and her body"--

Possession

The Haunting of Hill House meets Paranormal Activity in these bone-chilling accounts of hauntings that torment average teens—two novels in mixed-media journal format in one terrifying package. Letters, photographs, and two journals...all left behind in the harrowing aftermath. This is everything that remains after the mysterious and terrifying circumstances surrounding two individuals haunted by the unbelievable. For Paige, it begins when she moves to Idaho with her mom and little brother—into a drafty old mansion, where strange things start to happen. With words appearing on the walls and her brother roaming around the house at night, Paige takes it upon herself to uncover what’s tormenting her family. But the deeper she digs, the clearer it all becomes: whatever is in the house has no intention of backing down without a fight. The same rings true for Laetitia and the mysterious undiagnosed illness that has taken over her body. Her symptoms start with fevers and chills but soon escalate to the unimaginable. She begins to wonder if the voices she hears and the cryptic notes she finds in her own writing are signs of insanity or signs of something much more sinister. Something...demonic? Both of their terrifying journeys are here for you to witness these nightmares...and they are more haunting than you could ever imagine.

Diaries of a Haunting

In the tradition of American Horror Story and The Craft, a young girl discovers a magical spell book and dives headfirst into the occult—but this powerful book comes with a dangerous warning: OPEN AT YOUR OWN RISK. All Melanie wants is a blank book to keep a journal of her private thoughts. One day while browsing in a used bookshop, she finds the perfect blank book—smooth black leather with strange symbols in gold embossing. But once she gets home, Melanie finds herself too intimidated by the heavy vellum pages to write her trivial thoughts on them. Her Wiccan friend Lara tells her it’s better suited to be a magical spell book, called The Book of Shadows. Melanie doesn’t know much about that stuff, but Lara, her boyfriend Caleb, and his friend Lucas, get her started by writing their own made up spells inside the book’s tempting pages. What they didn’t expect was a new spell showing up inside the book—and in handwriting none of them recognize. Soon they discover that the spells suggested by The Book of Shadows itself do work—but not without wreaking havoc on the lives of the four teenagers.
