"Party of the year, Janus island. Details on back."
Nine words on a shitty looking flyer were all it took for Kathleen MacReady and her friends to set sail. It promised everything: Booze, a remote fishing community, the chance to snigger at backwater locals and their dated superstitions.
It should have been a relaxing weekend, a fun story to tell the folks back home. But from the moment they arrived, Kathleen knew something was off with the inhabitants of Janus island. Something dark, waiting beneath the surface of every smile, every wave. From the moment her and her friends set foot on its rocky shore, their fate was sealed.
No one would leave alive.
