About this listen

Inspired by a true story, this supernatural thriller for fans of horror and true crime follows a tale as it evolves every 20 years - with terrifying results.

Ella Louise has lived in the woods surrounding Pilot's Creek, Virginia, for nearly a decade. Publicly, she and her daughter Jessica are shunned by their upper-crust family and the Pilot's Creek residents. Privately, desperate townspeople visit her apothecary for a cure to what ails them - until Ella Louise is blamed for the death of a prominent customer. Accused of witchcraft, both mother and daughter are burned at the stake in the middle of the night. Ella Louise's burial site is never found, but the little girl has the most famous grave in the South: a steel-reinforced coffin surrounded by a fence of interconnected white crosses.

Their story will take the shape of an urban legend as it's told around a campfire by a man forever marked by his boyhood encounters with Jessica. Decades later, a boy at that campfire will cast Amber Pendleton as Jessica in a '70s horror movie inspired by the Witch Girl of Pilot's Creek. Amber's experiences on that set and its meta-remake in the '90s will ripple through pop culture, ruining her life and career after she becomes the target of a witch hunt.

Amber's best chance to break the cycle of horror comes when a true-crime investigator tracks her down to interview her for his popular podcast. But will this final act of storytelling redeem her - or will it bring the story full circle, ready to be told once again? And again. And again....

A chilling horror novel that's definitely worth a read. Some pictures stayed in my head for a long time and I gained interesting insights into the horror film making business. The story dragged a bit in the middle though.

Audio performance was exceptionally good and engaging.

Solid horror read

Excellent original slant on a ghost story once you get passed the first section of the book. Once passed the first narrator who’s story telling I found grating the story opens up in to a compelling tale.

Great story line

this could have been a good metahorror variation but too many clunky moments ruin it.

Really good start, and had the potential to be so interesting - but absolutely fell flat. DNF with 20 minutes to go because I was so bored.

So much potential

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Really promising until part 4 which ruined the whole experience for me. No ending at all.

Ending was awful.
