Description

? "A hauntingly beautiful take on a classic horror story that will leave readers' skin crawling in the best way possible." -Kirkus, starred review

?"There's a compelling, critical undercurrent here that encourages readers to think about how ghost stories begin and what keeps them alive in cultural memory, but at its core, this is pure fun for horror fans, with sharply drawn teen characters, lively banter, and a deft balance between moments of comedy and genuine scares."-Booklist, starred review

From Printz Honor winning author Lily Anderson comes a young adult horror that follows Arden and her friends as their graduation party at an abandoned mansion turns into a bloody fight for survival.


Red Solo cups? Check. Snacks? Check. Abandoned mansion full of countless horrors that won't let you leave? Check.

The Deinhart Manor has been a looming shadow over town for as long as anyone can remember, and it's been abandoned for even longer. When the final Deinhart descendent passes, the huge gothic manor is up for sale for the first time ever. Which means Arden can steal the keys from her mom's real estate office . . . It's time for a graduation party that no one will ever forget.

Arden and her friends each have different reasons for wanting to throw the party to end all parties. But when the manor doors bar everyone inside and the walls begin to bleed, all anyone wants to do is make it out alive.

"With her trademark snappy dialogue, Anderson elevates high school drama and haunted house horror tropes. The characters' steadfast found family dynamics and individual motivations and future goals are a hopeful undercurrent, even as Arden's dreams of life after high school morph into a real-life nightmare." -Publisher's Weekly
