*SHORTYS 2024 SHORTLIST* The day of her fiancé's funeral was the day the shadows came. Having witnessed Gareth's death and blaming herself, Sadie begins to experience a phenomenon she can't explain. They want her. They haunt her. Will she give in to their demands? After a visit from Gareth's ghost, Sadie must decide whether she has what it takes to fight against the shadows' malice or succumb to its control. And once she finally learns the truth behind the choice made on that fateful day, can Sadie truly forgive herself and abandon her guilt once and for all? The darkness has no patience and time is running out for Sadie. It's now or never.
