Burden Falls

In this “spine-tingling” (Kirkus Reviews) blood-soaked thriller, an orphan girl begins to suspect her nightmares may be more fact than fiction as the bodies start piling up the cursed town of Burden Falls.

“Cinematic, clever, and creepy, with a main character that leaps off the page … ticks off all my moody thriller boxes.”—Goldy Moldavsky, New York Times bestselling author of The Mary Shelley Club

“Reads like a horror blockbuster in the best way possible.”—PopSugar

The town of Burden Falls drips with superstition, from rumors of its cursed waterfall to Dead-Eyed Sadie, the disturbing specter who haunts it. Ava Thorn grew up right beside the falls, and since a horrific accident killed her parents a year ago, she’s been plagued by nightmares in which Sadie comes calling—nightmares so chilling, Ava feels as if she’ll never wake up. But when someone close to Ava is brutally murdered and she’s the primary suspect, she begins to wonder if the stories might be more than legends—and if the ghost haunting her dreams might be terrifyingly real.

Whatever secrets Burden Falls is hiding, there’s a killer on the loose … with a vendetta against the Thorns.
