The Devouring Light
IT’S BEEN WAITING FOR THEM.
The Blair Witch Project meets Stephen King in the extraordinary new YA horror novel from Kat Ellis – an unputdownable story filled with shocking twists.
A group of rival musicians are stranded in an abandoned house that seems to know everything they want – and will provide it to them…at a cost.
When rivals Haden Romero and Deacon Rex and their bands – including Haden’s ex, Cairo – are stranded on their way to a rock festival, they think missing the gig is the worst thing that’s going to happen to them this weekend.
It’s not.
Marooned with a broken-down bus in treacherous swamplands, they spot an old house where they can hole up until help comes. But the house has been waiting for them. And it knows help isn’t coming.
As secrets are revealed and bodies pile up, Haden starts to lose her grip on reality. Can the house make good on its promise to make all her dreams come true? And can Haden afford the deadly cost?
Unputdownable, hugely original, and utterly terrifying, with incredible twists up to the last page, The Devouring Light is a true modern horror classic.
