About this book

In June 1975, the Taylor family is devastated when two teenage siblings are found dead in their home. The surviving sibling, Vincent, becomes the subject of persistent whispers and accusations about his involvement in their deaths. As his career as a horror writer flourishes over the following decades, the legend surrounding him only intensifies. Olivia Dumont, a ghostwriter, has spent her professional life concealing that she is Vincent Taylor's daughter. Facing financial difficulties, she accepts an offer to ghostwrite her father's final book. However, the project is not what it appears to be. Rather than another horror novel, Vincent is ready to reveal the truth about what actually occurred that night in 1975—a secret he has kept silent about for fifty years.
