About this audiobook

"There was a man in my room last night," Jamie says. "He didn't have any eyes. Just holes. Dark holes where they should be." He's eleven. He doesn't make things up for attention. And he says he was awake the whole time. Willow wants to believe it was a nightmare — too much candy, a bad dream, growing pains. That's what Aunt Louanne says, not looking up from the bacon, the way she never looks up when Jamie talks about anything weird. But Willow had dreams like that once, at his age. That weight in the dark. Something waiting. And she made herself believe the lie because she wanted to. His skin is cold when she touches his hand. "You don't believe me either," he says, and pulls away. Beyond the backyard, the woods stand close and bare, branches scratching the sky like fingernails on glass. Then Jamie asks her, quiet: "Do you think ghosts are real?" By the time Willow understands what's really standing at the foot of her brother's bed, the eyeless man has stopped being a story. He's a debt. A curse stitched into the house on Hollow Creek Road, into the town that always seems to forget what happened here — and into the family that was never supposed to come back. The deeper Willow digs, the more she learns the curse wants something. A sacrifice. And it has already decided whose. To save Jamie, she'll have to walk into the dark the rest of the town pretends not to see — past the hollow tree, into the cave of echoes, all the way to the bargain at the heart of it. She'll have to find out why Aunt Louanne never looks up. She'll have to face the sacrifice she didn't see coming. She'll have to lose almost everything to break a story she never chose to be in. The road home runs straight through the thing waiting below. The Curse on Hollow Creek Road is a spine-chilling YA ghost story about a family curse, a haunted house, a town that forgets, a fearless older sister, and the thing that waited below. Perfect for readers who love small-town horror, sibling-bond scares, creeping supernatural dread, family curses, and ghost stories that don't let go. A standalone teen horror novel.
