YA Fiction

The fog is coming. And when it does, everything disappears . . .
One girl. Two identities. Three friends.
One disappears. One forgets. One remembers.
There is truth in every tale . . . Find it!


A frighteningly creepy supernatural YA thriller that chills to the bone with imagined and real horrors.
2025 Highly Commended - Victorian Premier's Literary Awards (Young Adult)


Witches only exist in stories. Everyone knows that. But what if the stories are real?
FOUR FRIENDS. FOUR TRUTHS. ONE NIGHTMARE.
If you wander into the wood …
If you hear scratching sounds from the Old Quarry …
If you go too close to the edge
WATCH. OUT.
