When the sun goes down, the gravestone statues in Willow Hills Cemetery come to life--including Gretta. As a granite guardian of the dead, it's her job to make sure her charge--the snarky, hot-headed, lesbian spirit Quinn Rivera--crosses over and finds spiritual peace. But that's a little hard to do when Quinn's twin brother Jason blames himself for her premature death. And for Quinn to agree to cross over, he must learn the truth of her accidental passing and the bipolar episodes that led her to shut him out beforehand. But reaching out to the living is against the rules, and to break them would mean facing the most power-hungry and terrifying spirit of all: Death. *** Inspired by π˜›π˜©π˜¦ 𝘈π˜₯𝘷𝘦𝘯𝘡𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘧 π˜—π˜ͺ𝘯𝘰𝘀𝘀𝘩π˜ͺ𝘰 (but not a retelling), Willow Hills is a southern gothic story with paranormal/horror elements. 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟐 π–πšπ­π­π²'𝐬 π–π’π§π§πžπ« (𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚π₯) C/W: Gore, some violence, and light to moderate swearing.
