Joy and Dot plan on having a summer to remember. A cabin on
the beach, hot men from Harvard down the way, one last hurrah before true
adulthood set in. Everything is perfect. They did not plan on their summer
being interrupted by Joy’s sudden collapse in a strange room in their house,
nor the mystery that surrounded it. As they look into their rental, horrifying
details from the house’s past, mixed in with pirate lore of old, come to light.
As more details emerge, they realize that more than their fun is at stake, that
souls may hang in the balance. How can two sisters battle an evil that has
haunted coastal Maine for hundreds of years?
Excerpt:
Taking a deep breath, just like the first time, she entered
the room and realized immediately something was wrong. Joy closed her eyes and
stepped in. At first, the room seemed perfectly normal. No blood, no ghosts,
nothing scary, just a light on by the nightstand in the middle of the two twin
beds. The room was actually quite cute. She could imagine her and Dot being in
here when they were younger. Then she remembered the two sisters who had shared
this room and what happened to them. That’s when the scene before her began to
change.
The room dimmed and shifted subtly. A strong sulfur smell
permeated the room. She didn’t know how, but Joy felt certain that she was
seeing the past somehow, witnessing a memory. “But that’s not possible. This
isn’t possible. I’m dreaming. This is just some sort of terrible dream,” Joy
said to herself, determined to snap herself out of this nightmare. She pinched
herself, slapped herself, and screamed hoping to wake up. Nothing worked. She
tried a different approach. Maybe if she left the room in her dream, she would
wake up. Turning to leave, she found herself face to face with two girls,
sisters by the looks of them, the two who had been murdered here, she knew it.
Joy froze, staring at the girls who didn’t seemed to notice
her at all. They were arguing with each other, but Joy found it difficult to
make out the words. They sounded as if they were talking through a very static
filled radio. The older of the girls grabbed something from the younger sister,
and that’s when she saw him. No rational thoughts formed. Joy screamed, unheard
by those in her vision, though she was sure he stared right at her. That was
the last thing she remembered, piercing red eyes that chilled her soul.
