The Girl with the Ghosts Inside Her:

by Luke T. Harrington

There's no escape from Clement, Oklahoma.



Ever since the roller coaster crumbled, killing everyone aboard, rumors have Swimming pools haunted by the souls of the damned. Shadow-beasts that stalk down dark alleys at night. Every soul unlucky enough to visit gets lost in the fog and eventually becomes one of the wraiths.



But now two more souls have arrived, and things will never be the same.



Sixteen-year-old Hope wakes one midnight to find her body is no longer her own-the ghosts of Clement have claimed it for themselves, and if her father John can't save her within three days, she'll fade away into the fog.



The only man who can help? The Reverend Earl Brown, a disgraced televangelist who built the roller coaster that killed Hope's mother. No one's seen him in years. Everyone says he's dead. But John has three days to find a way into his enigmatic theme park and track him down, or else his daughter is lost for good.



The prospects look grim. But if he doesn't try, they-and everyone else-will never escape.
