Untitled Novel-Synopsis

Some stories are meant to be left behind. But what if the past won’t let you escape?

After her painful divorce, Charlie Sinclair just wants to escape—escape the memories, escape her ex, and escape the suffocating silence of the holiday season. When a mysterious journal is left on her doorstep, she’s drawn to it, intrigued by its horrific nature. Thinking it might help her with her writer’s block, she rents a remote cabin in Maine, hoping the isolation will give her the peace she desperately needs.

The journal is a chilling account of a woman stalked and tormented by a man whose obsession grows darker with each page. At first, Charlie believes it's just a dark piece of fiction, an inspiration for a best-selling novel. But soon, the terrifying events in the journal begin to happen to her. The feeling of being watched. The sounds in the night make her blood run cold. And the shadows in the corners of the cabin seem to move when she’s not looking.

The deeper Charlie gets into the journal, the more she begins to lose herself. Her thoughts grow frantic and paranoia creeps in like a sickness. The line between what’s real and what’s written on those pages begins to blur. Is it all in her head, or is someone—or something—truly out to get her?

This Christmas, Charlie Sinclair will learn that some stories don’t just haunt you, they try to kill you.
