Horror
In the quiet perfection of Maple Drive, Jenna Moore is just another ordinary girl trying to rebuild her life after a tragedy that no one wants to talk about. The lawns are trimmed, the neighbors smile, and every morning smells like burnt toast - but something in her world is starting to rot. Whispers follow her from room to room. Faces shift when she blinks. And the sound of a door clicking open upstairs keeps returning every night - even when she's sure she's alone. When her best friend forces her to attend a small party, the line between memory and madness begins to blur. Blood starts to appear where it shouldn't. The voices get louder. And soon, Jenna realizes that the horror isn't just inside her head... it's inside her house. In a town that pretends nothing's wrong, sanity becomes a fragile thing - and Jenna may not survive long enough to tell what's real, and what's whispering beneath.

This is the original, unedited version of Light as a Feather, Book #1. This book was the inspiration for the Hulu Original Series. 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.
