Disembodied voices. Apparitions. Waking nightmares. Strange occurrences are happening with increased intensity and Carly cannot escape what is tormenting her. With little proof and little support, she is losing everything in her life: her fiancé, friendships, and her sanity. Can Carly uncover what caused the supernatural derailing of her life? Can she ever get rid of her ghostly tormentor, or is she doomed to be haunted indefinitely? Determined to stop these frightening events, she has to do whatever she can to regain control of her life before things take a deadly turn.

 EXCERPT:

Carly looked at the lamps she had turned on earlier as the intensity of the light fluctuated. She glanced at James who was staring at the TV with wide eyes. Carly looked over at Dominique who wore a matching expression that was fixed on the TV screen.

James slowly leaned forward to the coffee table and lifted the remote control. “Whatever you do,” he said in a low voice. “Do not look at the TV.”

Despite the request, Carly found her eyes moving towards the television screen. It was the gravitational pull of the forbidden. She clenched her jaw and swallowed hard when she caught sight of the TV screen.

The movie the three of them were just watching was frozen on the screen. A semi-translucent face dominated the screen and was looking directly at them. It was not the face of one of the actors in the film. It was a face that Carly knew well. That same eyeless onlooker which seemed to follow her everywhere. And now he was here.

Attend the Facebook party on September 1st! Contests will be open until September 5th.
