Horror lurks where you least expect it.

A village where everyone knows everyone else. A game that forbids you to speak. A mysterious whisper you can’t disobey. Stephen King-style, tension in a young-adult tale that grapples with the themes, fears and angst of this generation using a simple, direct writing style that shoots straight to the heart.
