The revised version is now available in bookstores throughout the USA & Canada from Simon Pulse. McKenna Brady thinks her junior year of high school is going to be the best ever when she's welcomed into the elite group of popular girls at Weeping Willow High School led by blonde, gorgeous Olivia Richmond. Prior to junior year, McKenna was known in her small town as the girl whose twin sister died in a tragic house fire, and she's overjoyed at the prospect of redefining her identity. She has a date to the Homecoming dance with Olivia's handsome older brother, and a good chance of being elected to student council. For the first time since McKenna's parents divorced, things are looking up. But everything changes the night of Olivia's Sweet Sixteen sleepover birthday party. Violet, the shy, mysterious new girl in town, suggests that the girls play a scary game called Light as a Feather, Stiff as a Board, during which Violet makes up elaborate stories about the future ways in which beautiful Olivia, brassy Candace, and athletic Mischa will die. The game unsettles McKenna because she's already escaped death once in her life, but she doesn't want to ruin her friends' fun. It's only a game, she reminds herself.

When Molly Heyworth comes across an eerie video on the internet, she believes it to be a hoax. It’s an early instalment to a video blog detailing the Garrison family’s home renovations. On her computer, Molly watches the couple tearing down a wall to reveal a room, where no room should exist. But what unnerves her is the strange altar the Garrisons find inside, where strange symbols on the walls and remnants of blood hint at Satanic rituals. As the weeks pass, Molly grows increasingly preoccupied by the family and their tragedies, especially with the two young boys, who are particularly plagued by the forces within the house. When the youngest goes inexplicably missing from inside the house, Molly’s interest turns to obsession. The more she unravels, the more it becomes clear that the horror has already devastated the Garrisons’ world, but for Molly the horror has only just begun.
