A brand-new chilling horror novel from the bestselling author of Alice and Lost Boy. Lauren and Miranda have been best friends forever. Every day one would say, Meet me by the old ghost-tree and they would have adventures in the woods. But this last year things dont seem like they used to be. And then there is the town itself, where every year one girl dies mysteriously. A town cursed by something that lingers in the empty house on top of the hill, and in the woods all around, and in the very soil the homes are built on.
