Alone in the woods, silence apart from the hissing of the stream, sits the morbid Staunton Plantation House; renowned for being haunted, cursed, and hungry for its next victim who dare enters the threshold. The Cullens scoff at the word 'haunted', for they are the only supernatural beings. Correct? Therefore, they're in for a page-turner when the supposed-to-be-dead mistress from three hundred years prior today, arrives at their new home, causing turbulence in the family, and a fall for Edward. Ghosts, vampires, and a vacuum of life, some would say it is the party for the dead. But how long can the party last when pain, suffer, and a life of agony are around the corner? No music can withstand the sound of screams. No streamers can camouflage the color of heartbreak. All rights of original locations and characters to Stephenie Meyer.
