When Karma’s dad lands a job with Netflix doing a docu-series, it’s huge. The only problem is, he’s supposed to be chasing down ghosts at a haunted hotel across the country, and Karma’s more than a little skittish. She’s a worrier, and she keeps dreaming up worse case scenarios.
Joined by her best friend and a mysterious local, Karma investigates every strange happening in the historically creepy Stanley Hotel as part of her dad’s Totally Rad film crew over her spring break. Their mission: find a ghost and get it on camera.

Believe in Ghosts
It wasn’t that I did not believe in ghosts; it was that I believed in them in the same noncommittal way that I believed in giant squids or lucky coins or Belgium.

Tennessee Lancaster can pry into folks’ memories with a single touch of their treasured belongings. It’s something she’s always kept hidden— until, Tennie’s gift does something new. Instead of just memories, her touch releases a ghost with a terrifying message.
Trouble is the last thing Tennie wants to stir up, but with her new friend, Fox, desperate to go hunting deep in the forest, trouble’s all they seem to find in Howler’s Hollow.

Bound to Happen
“I’m back here,” bellowed a voice that, unfortunately, belonged to my big brother, Topher, and not one of the dearly departed. I’d never actually seen a ghost in our kitchen; I’d only heard it banging around. But due to my home’s location, I figure I’m bound to run into a ghost eventually.
