In a suburban landscape cloaked in the seemingly mundane, Jack's world is upended when he finds himself unexpectedly fired after a slip of the tongue. Seeking comfort in junk food, pot and mindless TV, he unwittingly invites terror into his home. A sinister presence lurks nearby, leading to a night of chilling encounters. As he struggles to confront the unimaginable, Jack's simple desire for safety morphs into a desperate fight for survival against a grotesque entity craving more than just fear.

Amanda lives in Minnesota with her husband, three children, a dog and two cats. When she isn’t buried in a spooky book, she enjoys baking and spending time with her family—usually watching creepy movies or playing outrageous board games. In her free time, she enjoys collecting Halloween decor, writing macabre poetry, reorganizing her books and coming up with ways to surprise and amuse her friends and family. It has been a lifelong joke among her friends and family that Amanda is a member of the ‘grammar police.’ Writing and reading have always played a huge part in her life, stemming from growing up idolizing the talents of her Mother: a novelist, artist and journalist. Amanda began creating stories and crafting poems at a young age and never stopped. Now, reading and writing is still a huge part of her everyday life, and she feels blessed to be able to share her love of spooky stories with so many.
