Books

The police have some questions for Eddy Sparrow. Questions about a body found at the bottom of a well. As she answers the officer’s questions, she mentions a mysterious manuscript hidden in her recently deceased mother’s desk drawer. The manuscript is about a young girl named Cat who returns home after her own mother’s death to find her house haunted. As Eddy reads Cat’s story, her own secrets emerge, and she begins to experience strange phenomena: wet footprints, phantom phone calls, and nightmares.

“Haunting and powerful, this dark little gem of a novel is an absolute must-read.” – Kirkus Reviews

“Aimee Hardy writes like a southern gothic archeologist, unearthing this haunted artifact for us all to marvel at. Imagine Flannery O’Connor penning her own House of Leaves and you’re on this found footage novel’s humid, metatextual wavelength.” – Clay McLeod Chapman, author of What Kind of Mother and Ghost Eaters

“It’s lyrical and atmospheric; it’s dark; it deals with family secrets. And the last page will, as Kirkus says, have your jaw on the ground. This is a doom-spiral that pays off in the most spectacular way. I loved this narrative structure so much…. Seriously obsessed with this book.” – Elizabeth Broadbent, author of Ink Vine
