Surviving After Dark
Fantasy So? I'm a big girl. I'm not scared of the dark."
My Aunt halts at my words. She's frozen, facing into the living room, and I'm glaring at her back so hard that I'm surprised she can't feel holes burning through her ribcage.
Finally, ever so slowly, she spins to face me. Her green eyes are piercing, and I take an involuntary step back from her. She meets my gaze, and her pale face looks gaunt.
Her words send a shiver down my spine. "You should be."
Living in a strange new town means
following three unwritten rules: don't go out after dark, sprinkle salt across the threshold before locking your doors, and stay indoors after dark!
When Cassie Miller and her brother move to Oakton to live with their weird grandmother, they're thrust into a community plagued with fear and mistrust. Still grieving the sudden loss of her parents, Cassie struggles to adjust to her new life and the strange customs of the locals.
Despite all the warnings of dangers lurking in the dark, she's determined to figure out exactly what's going on in this mysterious place.
Following the rules doesn't come naturally to
Cassie, but she soon learns that some rules aren't meant to be broken.
