The Blair Witch Project meets The Haunting of Hill House in this edge-of-your-seat horror-thriller by Katya de Becerra, perfect for fans of Kathryn Foxfield. Never, ever look directly into the eyes of a ghost. Because once you see it, once you see her, once you acknowledge her impossible existence, you can never un-see it. And that's how she gets you. When Sophia Galich was twelve, she starred in her older sister Layla’s amateur horror movie Vermillion, which recorded raw footage of her very real reactions to scenes her sister concocted in their old Californian house on the coast – Cashore House. In the years after the film’s release, Sophia’s memories of the now-infamous house fueled her nightmares. Vermillion amassed an army of fanatical fans who speculated about the film’s hidden messages, and it was rumored that Layla made a pact with the devil –her soul in exchange for fame and arcane knowledge. Sophia dismissed this as gossip . . . until Layla disappeared. When Layla suddenly goes missing, Sophia is yanked back into the world of Vermillion and the chilling embrace of Cashore House. There, in the landscape of her nightmares, Sophia’s past bleeds into her present. Every step toward Layla and the truth of what happened years ago pulls Sophia closer to the darkness at the heart of Cashore—and closer to whoever, or whatever, is lurking there to welcome her home.
