About This Book

Three chilling novellas. One unforgettable collection.

As the nights grow longer and the shadows stretch deeper, brace yourself for three haunting tales that will grip your heart, twist your mind, and crawl under your skin. Perfect for fans of Stephen King's psychological depth, Dean Koontz's breakneck thrills, and Freida McFadden's dark domestic twists, this collection delivers horror in every shade—sharp, strange, and profoundly human.

FINAL CUT
When Laurie's screenwriting dreams crash and burn, she retreats to her mother's house to start over—only for her mom to be killed in a hit-and-run soon after. Now Mom's back as a ghost, gleefully reenacting scenes from her favorite horror movies and pestering Laurie. But someone else is watching Laurie too—and they're not a fan of her little investigation. Equal parts hilarious, heartfelt, and harrowing, Final Cut is a love letter to horror fans and mother-daughter bonds…with a bloody twist.

THE LAST WINTER BEFORE SUMMER
The world ended, and Annie didn't get the memo. With her dog Priest as her only companion, she roams a snowy wasteland of the undead—until a chance encounter changes everything. The Last Winter Before Summer is a gripping and emotional survival tale about grief, resilience, and what it means to keep going when all hope is lost.

ABOUT EMILY
All Diane Yates ever wanted was for her autistic daughter to make a friend. So when seven-year-old Emily starts talking to someone only she can see, Diane is cautiously thrilled. But Emily's new playmate has a dark past—and unfinished business. As the line between imaginary friend and vengeful spirit vanishes, Diane must protect her daughter from something far more dangerous than loneliness. About Emily is a chilling domestic ghost story about motherhood, guilt, and the monsters we welcome into our homes.

This fall, dare to enter the lives of three women facing the unthinkable.
Some ghosts are real. Some dead things still walk.
And some friendships never die...
