Secrets in the Attic

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Secrets don't stay quiet forever. After inheriting her childhood home, Lena Morgan only wants to start over-to heal, to breathe, to forget. But the house has other plans. The attic she was once too afraid to enter begins to whisper. Doors close on their own. Shadows linger. And Lena starts to question whether her trauma ever truly ended... or simply waited. Secrets in the Attic is a dark, psychologically intense novel about memory, manipulation, and survival. Told in fragmented, haunting prose that mirrors the mind of a trauma survivor, the story unfolds like a slow-burn nightmare. Lena's past is more than a memory-it's a trap she's still caught inside. When strange notes appear. When dreams feel too real. When the attic creaks like something is still inside... Lena realizes she's not losing her mind. She's recovering the parts of it someone tried to take. If you love stories like Sharp Objects, The Silent Patient, or Haunting of Hill House, this will crawl under your skin and stay there. This is not a traditional horror novel. It's a descent. A reckoning. And not everyone walks away. "You don't survive by remembering everything. You survive by forgetting just enough."
