On June 15th, 1932 a nineteen year old boy was lynched and left hanging from a tree in a white family's yard in Cowansville, Georgia. The police, normally lax in the face of race related crimes, have no choice but to investigate the murder as the owner of the property is one of the most influential people in town. He demands to know who did it and no one dares to go against him. On the other side of the tracks the black community is reeling. Tempers flare as fear fills the hearts of young and old alike, all wanting justice for this young man and his family. The three things every one, regardless of there race, are asking- Who did it? Why? Will they do it again?- Reads 71

In 2014 yet another drive-by shooting took place in Albany NY. Like the previous wave of such violence, the teenage victims were young African Americans. Two died within a day but one, a young woman, eventually recovered to tell an unbelievable story of having traveled back in time to 1793, a year when much of the city was destroyed by fire and three young slaves were hung for the crime.- Reads 36

The online game is ironic fun. The real version? It's the epitome of horror. Welcome to the Salem Games, where fifteen innocent people, chosen from a random roster, enter the arena in Salem, Massachusetts, and scar their entire sanity trying to stay alive. Deaths are inevitable. Betrayals are expected. The fear of being killed at night or lynched during the day by none other than our closest friends continuously looms over our heads...even after the Games. My name is Brianne. You think I'm just a 17-year-old girl from a small city in Canada with extensive knowledge on the game that I've played for the past three years. But when somehow, my name ends up on the random roster to play the Salem Games, little did I know just what changes would impede upon my once truly innocent life. You only have one chance to prove yourself. If you can't...you're dead. THERE WILL BE THREE STORIES IN ONE BOOK.
