In the tradition of Paranormal Activity and The Blair Witch Project, an American teen recounts the strange events that occur after she moves into a new—and very haunted—home with her family in this chilling diary that features photos and images of what she experienced. Letters, photographs, and a journal…all left behind in the harrowing aftermath. Following her parents’ high-profile divorce, Paige and her brother are forced to move to Idaho with their mother, and Paige doesn’t have very high hopes for her new life. The small town they’ve moved to is nothing compared to the life she left behind in LA. And the situation is made even worse by the drafty old mansion they’ve rented that’s filled with spiders and plenty of other pests that Paige can’t even bear to imagine. Pretty soon, strange things start to happen around the house—one can of ravioli becomes a dozen, unreadable words start appearing on the walls, and Paige’s little brother begins roaming the house late at night. And there’s something not right about the downstairs neighbor who seems to know a lot more than he’s letting on. Things only get creepier when she learns about the cult that conducted experimental rituals in the house almost one hundred years earlier. The more Paige investigates, the clearer it all becomes: there’s something in the house, and whatever it is…and it won’t be backing down without a fight.

A dark family secret prompts a ghost to seek revenge in this spooky novel in the spirit of Mary Downing Hahn. The only life 12-year-old Emily has ever known is the cold, unloved existence of being an orphan. But everything changes when the Thorntons, a young couple from London, adopt Emily, whisking her away to a new life at their grand estate. At first, life at Blackthorn Manor is wonderful. But as Emily explores the grounds and rooms, she stumbles upon a mysterious girl named Kat, who appears to be similar in age, and the two become fast friends. That's when things take a turn for the worse. Kat seems to know a curious amount about the estate, and strange things happen whenever she's around.

The Haunting of Hill House meets Paranormal Activity in these bone-chilling accounts of hauntings that torment average teens—two novels in mixed-media journal format in one terrifying package. Letters, photographs, and two journals...all left behind in the harrowing aftermath. This is everything that remains after the mysterious and terrifying circumstances surrounding two individuals haunted by the unbelievable. For Paige, it begins when she moves to Idaho with her mom and little brother—into a drafty old mansion, where strange things start to happen. With words appearing on the walls and her brother roaming around the house at night, Paige takes it upon herself to uncover what’s tormenting her family. But the deeper she digs, the clearer it all becomes: whatever is in the house has no intention of backing down without a fight. The same rings true for Laetitia and the mysterious undiagnosed illness that has taken over her body. Her symptoms start with fevers and chills but soon escalate to the unimaginable. She begins to wonder if the voices she hears and the cryptic notes she finds in her own writing are signs of insanity or signs of something much more sinister. Something...demonic? Both of their terrifying journeys are here for you to witness these nightmares...and they are more haunting than you could ever imagine.
