About this ebook
A horror story about friendship, growing up, and finding a place in the world: Gremlins meets The Breakfast Club by way of Stephen King and Stranger Things.
“Moody and atmospheric, with sardonic humor; a meaty slice of horror.”—Kirkus Reviews
“This is an intense, descriptive, and intellectual thriller that will appeal to older teenagers who enjoy horror and suspense novels.”—School Library Journal
In the summer of 1982, five friends discover an ancient stone box hidden deep in the woods. They seal inside of it treasured objects from their childhoods, and they make a vow:
Never come to the box alone.
Never open it after dark.
Never take back your sacrifice.
Four years later, a series of strange and terrifying events begin to unfold: mirrors inexplicably shattering, inanimate objects coming to life, otherworldly crows thirsting for blood. Someone broke the rules of the box, and now everyone has to pay.
But how much are they willing to sacrifice?
