From the writer of 'Bedtime', 'The Melancholy of Herbert Solomon', 'Tunnels', and 'On a Hill' comes a collection of terrifying tales to chill your bones. Relax by the fire, curl up on a couch, and pull the bed covers tight, for the world is a frightening place, and within these pages something lurks in the darkness..

Seven girls tied by time. Five powers that bind. One curse to lock the horror away. One attic to keep the monsters at bay. ** After the storm of the century rips apart New Orleans, sixteen-year-old Adele Le Moyne wants nothing more than her now silent city to return to normal. But with home resembling a war zone, a parish-wide curfew, and mysterious new faces lurking in the abandoned French Quarter, normal needs a new definition. As the city murder rate soars, Adele finds herself tangled in a web of magic that weaves back to her own ancestors. Caught in a hurricane of myths and monsters, who can she trust when everyone has a secret and keeping them can mean life or death? Unless . . . you're immortal.
