After slogging his way through a particularly awful horror novel, Harry Jenkins leaves a scathing review. He then moves on to another book, and soon he's forgotten all about The Haunting of Myrtle Roach. Six months later, however, a strange woman moves into the cottage opposite. At first, Harry and his wife Debbie don't mind their new neighbor. Even when she starts to exhibit a few unusual qualities, Abigail Cain doesn't exactly seem dangerous, just... slightly weird. But Abigail has a very particular reason for having moved to the small seaside village of Hambledown, and she seems very interested in Harry. Soon, Harry and Debbie find themselves in a desperate fight for survival. Abigail Cain is out to get them, and her fury knows no limit. All because of a one star review that Harry wrote. Can she be stopped, or will Harry and his wife pay the ultimate price at the hands of a murderous and vengeful author?
