by Cg Drews

The walls are closing in on her perfect new life. Single mother Elodie's life has become a fairy tale. She's met Bren, equal parts Golden-retriever-devoted and sinfully handsome. He's whisked her and her autistic son, Jude, to the crumbling family house he's renovating. She has a new husband, a new house, and a new baby on the way. Everything is perfect. Until Jude claims he can hear voices in the walls. He says their renovations are hurting the house. Even Elodie can't ignore it, something strange is going on. The question is, Is it with the house, or with her son?

The dead collect in low places. That's what Brynn Werner, lead singer of metal band Queen Carrion, wrote in her notebook before she vanished while staying at a cabin in Oregon's Umpqua National Forest. A year later, the rest of her bandmates visit the cabin to remember her and find a way to move on. But tensions arise over who should be their new singer and who is responsible for Brynn's disappearance-tensions that boil over as they realize not all is as it seems at Trail Creek Cabin.
