In the tradition of American Horror Story and The Craft, a young girl discovers a magical spell book and dives headfirst into the occult—but this powerful book comes with a dangerous warning: OPEN AT YOUR OWN RISK. All Melanie wants is a blank book to keep a journal of her private thoughts. One day while browsing in a used bookshop, she finds the perfect blank book—smooth black leather with strange symbols in gold embossing. But once she gets home, Melanie finds herself too intimidated by the heavy vellum pages to write her trivial thoughts on them. Her Wiccan friend Lara tells her it’s better suited to be a magical spell book, called The Book of Shadows. Melanie doesn’t know much about that stuff, but Lara, her boyfriend Caleb, and his friend Lucas, get her started by writing their own made up spells inside the book’s tempting pages. What they didn’t expect was a new spell showing up inside the book—and in handwriting none of them recognize. Soon they discover that the spells suggested by The Book of Shadows itself do work—but not without wreaking havoc on the lives of the four teenagers.

The chilling diary of an American teen reveals the unsettling occurrences following her family's move into a haunted house. Presented with photos and images, the narrative captures the eerie experiences that unfold, echoing the suspenseful styles of Paranormal Activity and The Blair Witch Project. As she documents her encounters, the teen invites readers into a world of supernatural intrigue and fear.

The Haunting of Hill House meets Paranormal Activity in these bone-chilling accounts of hauntings that torment average teens—two novels in mixed-media journal format in one terrifying package. Letters, photographs, and two journals...all left behind in the harrowing aftermath. This is everything that remains after the mysterious and terrifying circumstances surrounding two individuals haunted by the unbelievable. For Paige, it begins when she moves to Idaho with her mom and little brother—into a drafty old mansion, where strange things start to happen. With words appearing on the walls and her brother roaming around the house at night, Paige takes it upon herself to uncover what’s tormenting her family. But the deeper she digs, the clearer it all becomes: whatever is in the house has no intention of backing down without a fight. The same rings true for Laetitia and the mysterious undiagnosed illness that has taken over her body. Her symptoms start with fevers and chills but soon escalate to the unimaginable. She begins to wonder if the voices she hears and the cryptic notes she finds in her own writing are signs of insanity or signs of something much more sinister. Something...demonic? Both of their terrifying journeys are here for you to witness these nightmares...and they are more haunting than you could ever imagine.

In the tradition of Paranormal Activity and The Exorcist, an ordinary girl with a strange illness recounts her experience with the dark and ancient entity that’s making her sick in this chilling diary that features photos and images of what she experienced. All her life, Laetitia Jones has only wanted to be a star. It’s more than an ambition—somewhere deep inside, she knows that she was born for greatness. But her path to stardom now seems to be halted by a mysterious, undiagnosed illness that’s taken over her body. Doctors don’t have a clue and most days, she’s stuck at home documenting her strange symptoms—symptoms that start with fevers and chills, but soon escalate to bizarre bodily reactions. Laetitia’s only escape from her illness is following the news—and the race riots that are moving closer and closer to her neighborhood. But when horrific visions begin to invade her mind, even the media can’t distract her and she begins to wonder—is her illness something biological…or is it something more? Are the voices she hears and the notes she finds in her own handwriting signs of insanity…or signs of something much more sinister and demonic? Or, perhaps, signs of something benevolent…something holy even. Laetitia has always known she’d be famous…she just didn’t know it would happen this way.
