When Jennifer leaves home for college, she discovers there are monsters everywhere. Not just at home inside of the attic. But real monsters. Monstrous monsters, like her crazy mother, Merilee. Now Jennifer has to decide whom to trust, and whom she can rely on for the truth because no one seems to be who he or she is. When Jennifer and Kathy discover what is in the basement, hell comes knocking and no one is safe. Students are disappearing. Who is the real monster behind Kale University? Could it be the Dean? Or... Hellen Back? Take a journey along a dark hall and down steepened stairwell to a dark basement where evil waits, hiding... Will Jennifer survive the hell she is about to embark on, or will she discover she's never left the attic...?

About the author

Born to immigrant farmers in the early fifties, Vicki suffered the debilitating diseases of the era with Tuberculosis and Polio. With perseverance and a strong family tie, Vicki made it through the many ups n downs throughout her life, always dabbling in the writings of poems and mysteries far before the internet. It was near impossible to get publishing houses to take notice. The long trips to and from the post office only to receive rejection letters were mounting. Vicki got caught up in life, lost in the fine line of hard work and play. She now puts her stories to the page, self publishing her works. She mainly writes Friction Fiction, mystery suspense novels with twists and turns, keeping her readers alert and on the edge of their seat. She intertwines through her stories a bit of her own knowledge she's picked up throughout her years of traveling, and she incorporates this bit of opinion into her story line.
