WHAT HAPPENED TO EMILY PARKER?

In the early 2000's, something terrible happened in the small town of Patience. Something that tore a wound in its citizenry that still bleeds to this day. Was this an attack of mass hysteria, or something far more sinister? And why did the story never make headlines? Whatever the case, it began with a girl named Emily Parker, and soon bled into the rest of the town.

Writer Joshua Hess blends psychological horror with supernatural thriller in this dark new creation inspired by classics old and new like Halloween, Silent Hill, Borrasca, and Talk To Me.

Cailyn Pure discovers her father involved in an adulterous affair with a wicked woman who is obsessed with apples.

Aspen Briar finds herself once again on the verge of being uprooted and moved by her parents who are constantly on the run from a mysterious woman from their past. Stella Rampion is ever smothered by parents who consider her their miracle baby; only conceived once her mother consumed a supposed "magical" flower. Her parents are so overprotective; she's never even been allowed to cut her hair. Zoe Locke feels neglected and ignored, so much so that she begins breaking and entering in and around Faraway; just for kicks. Enter the three Bars.

[Vᴏʟᴜᴍᴇ 1 - Cᴏᴍᴘʟᴇᴛᴇ] Evelyn White was born with a gift - or rather, a curse: the first time she touches someone, she sees when and how that person dies. Meeting new people is sickening. Walking through a crowd is hell. Not to mention that when she opens her big mouth to tell people what's going to happen to them, most treat her like she's crazy - even after she saves their lives. But meddling with the future has consequences, and Death is not all there is to fear. As Evelyn races to find a way to save the new transfer student from being murdered, a voice starts whispering in her ear. Someone or something lurks in the shadows. Watching. Waiting. Trying to get close using mind games and tricks. It knows about her powers. It knows she can change Fate - and it's not alone. ------------------------------------------- This book is written in Australian English and uses British style grammar.
