***A beachside thriller novella written by bestselling author Vanessa Jones***

When author Emma flees her suffocating relationship for a last-minute rental in a remote coastal town, it’s supposed to be a reset. A quiet place to write her book, clear her head, and figure out what comes next.

From the moment she arrives, she is greeted with friendliness. It's just that something feels… wrong. 

Strange symbols appear on her doorstep. Then her walls. Locals warn her about the unstable man who screams at nothing. But what exactly is he trying to warn her about?

Then one morning, Emma spies a body being quietly wheeled into a neighbor’s garage. But it's nothing compared to what she finds in her own back shed. 

Trapped between her trying to escape the city and a town that won’t let her go, Emma starts to realize there are secrets that, once uncovered, are dangerous to know.

This is a short story/novella.
