Name: The Attic

Beth reluctantly moves to the Ordway farm in rural Vermont after her parents purchase it to escape city life. The old house, the town’s unsettling quiet, and a strange woman named Aunt Clara make Beth feel out of place. When Aunt Clara helps her win her class’s Best Halloween Story contest, Beth’s imagination seems to leap beyond the page. Her growing fear that her ideas are coming true soon turns into a frightening reality: she starts to morph into a creature far more evil than any fiction she has written. The story follows Beth’s struggle to understand the change and to protect those she loves against the darkness within her.
