A girl who's used to battling the monster of her own mind discovers there's a sinister evil lurking in her small town in this atmospheric paranormal novel that's perfect for fans of Tracy Wolff and Maggie Stiefvater.

Stories of dark magic and even darker creatures have always swirled about Mina Murray's town of London, Georgia. Mina knows they aren't true--and are likely perpetuated only to drive the quirky tourist-trap ghost tours of downtown--but that doesn't stop her from collecting the stories and drawing them in her sketchbook. Something about the possibility of real monsters helps her deal with the monster in her own head: her OCD, which convinces her danger lurks everywhere.

But when a body is found drained of blood and a classmate goes missing, Mina is thrust into a tangled web of London secrets...that she seems to be at the center of.

About the Author
Before embracing her love of monsters and sneaking into Mina's fictional world, Melanie Dale published a bunch of nonfiction books, shambled around as a zombie on TV, and survived cancer. She's written episodes for the anthology horror television series Creepshow and over a decade of essays for Coffee + Crumbs. While she has won no awards for literature, she won a Halloween costume contest one time and still feels pretty stoked about it. When she's not writing, she's teaching yoga or battling her own brain. She lives in the Atlanta area.
