When Chloe Summer inherits her aunt's isolated old house, she expects dust, repairs, and enough porcelain birds to make her question the woman's judgment. What she does not expect is the sleepwalking, the terrifying bouts of sleep paralysis, or the strange knocking that seems determined to get her attention.
Then Chloe finds the rules her aunt left behind.
Some are oddly specific. Some make no sense at all. And one becomes increasingly difficult to ignore: keep the basement door locked.
As the house grows less willing to let Chloe dismiss what is happening, she begins to realize that not everything haunting a house is trying to hurt you, and sometimes the thing making the most noise is the only thing standing between you and something much worse.
But whatever is waiting downstairs has had a very long time to learn how people think, what they trust, and what will finally make them answer.
Stay Still is a darkly funny, supernatural horror short read about a stubborn woman, an increasingly opinionated haunting, and one door that should have been left alone.
Perfect for readers looking for a creepy, complete story they can finish in one sitting.Also in
