BASED ON TRUE EVENTS!
To believe in that other world, she must first learn to believe in herself.
The signs were always there.
The footsteps.
The cries.
The melancholy music from a faraway place.
Though Melissa Roberts lives alone, she chooses not to believe in superstitions. Locked in the rational prison of her closed imagination, she must open her mind and soul to that other place before it's too late.
For the voices are rising.
The footsteps draw closer.
Until the music is deafening.
She must prepare herself. She must become the Straw Girl. They are coming for her.
Fans of "The Invited" by Jennifer McMahon, "The Ghost of Slackwood House" by J.T. Westbrook, and Susanna Kearsley's "The Shadowy Horses" will enjoy Straw Girl.

"This is not your average horror story. It's for readers who crave emotional complexity, not just jump scares. If you're drawn to ghost stories like Shirley Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House or Jennifer McMahon's The Winter People—where psychological trauma and supernatural ambiguity coexist—you'll find Straw Girl deeply rewarding." -OneTribune
