Sweetmare Hollow
A black envelope sealed with red silk arrives for 31-year-old Evelyn Morin, humming with a sinister energy and smelling faintly of burnt sugar. Inside is a VIP invitation to the grand reopening of Sweetmare Hollow-the infamous candy-themed amusement park that shut down mysteriously in 1997. Evelyn doesn't remember ever visiting, yet the invitation feels hauntingly familiar, almost like it's been waiting for her. At the bottom, scrawled in dark red ink: Welcome home, Your Majesty. On opening day, the park is a twisted fairytale come to life-peppermint castles, licorice rollercoasters, and candy mascots that smile but never blink. The guests are mostly children and teens. The only other adult near Evelyn's age is Lucien-quiet, charismatic, with eyes that seem to know more than he lets on. As night falls, glowing bracelets snap onto their wrists and a holographic queen announces the Sweetmare Game: draw a card, follow its path, survive the night. The park shifts, traps close in, and horrors unfold-while Evelyn's bracelet glows gold, untouched by punishment, as does Lucien's. Whispers rise. Why are they different? Why does the queen's twisted lullaby whisper "It's you..."? Evelyn came for one day of escape from her quiet life, but Sweetmare Hollow never forgets-and it never lets go.Complete
