Secrets to be Feared

Michigan, 1968. A girl celebrates her tenth birthday with her friends. Not wanting her day to end, she suggests taking a late-night stroll through the woods.

What should be a fun outing takes a terrifying turn when they encounter a man holding a bloody knife and dragging a dead body. Vows are made and secrets are buried, but not forgotten. For fifty-five years they keep silent, until one breaks their promise.

Michigan, 2023. Nineteen-year-old Nerissa Feldpausch has moved in with Gran to reconnect with her family. While Gran is on vacation, a threatening letter is left on her doorstep, warning Gran to leave Michigan or die.

Nerissa’s unease escalates as members of Gran’s graduating class are being murdered. Nerissa believes the Slasher is responsible. But how do you find someone who’s been missing for so long?

Hastings was supposed to be a place for Nerissa to build a future; instead, she finds herself immersed in Gran and her former friend's dark and dangerous secrets.
