| book description |

Winner of the 2025 Bram Stoker Award for Superior Achievement in a Novel Finalist for the 2025 Shirley Jackson Award From Bram Stoker Awardâ€“winning author Gwendolyn Kiste comes an â€œemotionally devastating, character driven ghost storyâ€ (CrimeReads) about three childhood friends who miraculously survive the night everyone in their suburban hometown turned to ghostsâ€”perfect for fans of Yellowjackets. The Velkwood Vicinity was the topic of occult theorists, tabloid one-hour documentaries, and even some pseudo-scientific investigations as the block of homes disappeared behind a near-impenetrable veil that only three survivors could enterâ€”and only one has in the past twenty years, until now. Talitha Velkwood has avoided anything to do with the tragedy that took her mother and eight-year-old sister, drifting from one job to another, never settling anywhere or with anyone, feeling as trapped by her past as if she was still there in the small town she so desperately wanted to escape from. When a new researcher tracks her down and offers to pay her to come back to enter the vicinity, Talitha claims sheâ€™s just doing it for the money. Of all the crackpot theories over the years, no one has discovered what happened the night Talitha, her estranged, former best friend Brett, and Grace, escaped their homes twenty years ago. Will she finally get the answers sheâ€™s been looking for all these years, or is this just another dead end? Award-winning author Gwendolyn Kiste has created an â€œeerie and evocativeâ€ (Kirkus Reviews) suburban ghost story about a small town that trapped three young women who must confront the past if theyâ€™re going to have a future.
