From the publisher

Three horror stories. A dinner party. A quiet house. A roadside stop. You’ll recognize the setup. You won’t recognize what comes next. Never Kill the Medium A thirtieth birthday dinner turns deadly after someone hires a medium for a playful séance.…

When the ritual spirals out of control and the medium dies, the guests cover it up—unaware that leaving the séance unfinished has allowed something dark to cross over. The Nightmare House The Dalton family moves into what they believe is their forever home, in the quiet town of Tillington—until the house whispers, the neighbors watch, and no one believes the one person who knows something is wrong. Newly postpartum, Kristin Dalton soon uncovers a horrifying truth: every family who has lived in this house has died or disappeared. All Curses Are Final On the way to a remote winter cabin, a group of friends stops at a roadside store with a hand-painted warning: “All items cursed. Curse lifted at time of sale.” They laugh it off—until one of them discovers an item in her bag she never paid for. As the storm traps them inside the cabin and bodies start to pile up, paranoia takes hold and suspicion turns inward.
