About this ebook

Angela Sayers is on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Convinced by her controlling brother to stop taking her medication, Angelas world unravels just a little more when she discovers she can communicate with the dead.

Its not a welcome revelation. Her dead mother was driven mad by this gift. Eager to capitalize on their mothers fame as a medium, her brother forces Angela to publically become the unwilling heir apparent. Soon, Sayers Medium Services is shamelessly exploiting the fears of the most vulnerablethe elderly, the feeble-minded, the grievingfor obscene profit.

Uncertain if her increasingly fragile state of mind is caused by lack of medication, sleep deprivation, or guilt, Angela endures a plague of sleepless nights. If shes going to have any semblance of a future, she knows she must find a way to confront her own demonsincluding the fear that its all in her head.

When they are hired to cleanse an old orphanage that is genuinely haunted, its up to Angela to get everyone out alive. But with reality slipping away, can she escape the prison of her mind long enough to save them?

    Wow! What a great story! Totally creepy, totally entertaining and totally heartbreaking! I've been wanting to read this ever since I saw the trailer for it's film adaptation on Netflix but I didn't want to watch until I read the novella and I'm so glad I did! Towards the end I started guessing who might be behind it all, seeing as the cast of characters isn't very big but that ending tho! So sad! I wish it turned out different but I understand why it was written that way. Great work Ms. Konstantopoulos! I'd love to write a story this exciting and this haunting one day too. You've gained a new fan!
