For fans of White Smoke, The Hazel Wood, and Wilder Girls comes an original, hypnotizing horror thriller in the vein of Midsommar, as one girl inherits a mysterious house from her estranged grandmother--and a letter with sinister instructions.
Jo never expected to be placed in her absent grandmother's will--let alone be left her house, her land, and a letter with mysterious demands.
Upon arriving at the inherited property, things are even more strange.
The tenants mentioned in the letter are odd, just slightly...off. Jo feels something dark and decrepit in the old shack behind the house. And the things that her father used to talk about, his delusions... Why is Jo starting to believe they might be real?
But what Jo fears most is the letter from her grandmother. Because if it's true, then Jo belongs here, in this strange place. And she has no choice but to stay.
- Folk Horror Atmosphere: Step into a remote Vermont farmhouse where the land holds ancient secrets and the strange tenants, Tom and Hattie, watch Jo's every move.
- An Inherited Duty: Jo isn't just the new owner; she's the next Lavoie, tasked with a terrifying responsibility she never asked for and cannot escape.
- Supernatural Suspense: Something sinister lurks in the locked shack behind the house, a place tied to the dark creatures from her father's stories.
- Mental Health vs. Reality: For years, her father's tales of the "little ones" were dismissed as schizophrenia. Now, Jo must confront the terrifying possibility that he was telling the truth all along.
