The house is safe. The hills outside are not. The basement is out of the question.

Joel has been trapped in the house for what has felt like an eternity; all hope of escaping lost after the first few years.  Without the company of the eight strangers who arrived with him, he would have gone mad long ago. But while living in the decrepit building is taxing, nothing could be worse than the thing downstairs. Everyone is content to just live in the six rooms that they know are safe until Joel learns that there may be something below. Something other than the creature that torments them. The house goes deeper, further down into the darkness. And while travelling through the unknown halls may be dangerous, and the thing downstairs is always following close behind, Joel is determined to find a way out of the nightmare he's found himself in; for his own sake, but more importantly, the sake of the people he loves.

Surviving in juvenile prison? Tough. Surviving in juvenile prison with the added bonus of seeing ghosts? Tougher. Bailey has a sixth sense, a criminal record and no appetite for trouble; serving a year-long prison sentence already sucks enough in and of itself. If only the spirits would leave her in peace. A strange warning, an inexplicable injury, a disturbing message written on her cell's wall in blood: Bailey has no choice but to conclude a ghost is out to get her. To save her life, she must find out why. But in a place where restriction is everything and escape impossible, that may be harder than it seems. ~ONC 2020 shortlister and honourable mention~ ~Featured on 'Die Young, Stay Pretty' reading list on @Horror~ -Featured on 'Horror/Paranormal' reading list on @CommunityTeam~ ~Featured on 'Life after death' reading list on @Paranormal~ ~Featured on 'Wicked little creatures' reading list on @TeenFiction~ ~Featured on 'I see dead people' on @fright~ ~Featured on @StoriesUndiscovered, may 2022~ ~Featured on 'The Rebels' reading list on @Badassreads~ ~Amby Awards 2023 Top Pick~ Written for ONC 2020.
