Clara thought surviving meant escape. She was wrong. Beneath everything she thought she understood, there is another world. One that does not shout, does not chase, does not need to be seen to exist. A world built on silence so complete it begins to erase the people trapped inside it.

Clara Roberts has always known how to behave. In her home, silence is expected, obedience is normal, and everything exists exactly as it should. Nothing is out of place. Nothing is questioned. Her older sister, Rosalie, has already learned the rules. Clara is still trying. But lately, something feels… wrong. It starts with small things; sounds that don’t belong, rooms that feel unfamiliar, the quiet, persistent sense that she is not alone. No one else seems to notice. Not her family. Not her teachers. Not even the church that prides itself on certainty and control. Everything remains calm.

Something is quietly removing people from this town. Brackenridge is the kind of place people pass through without noticing. Quiet street. Old woods at the edge of town. Nothing that should make it memorable. But people have always gone missing there. No bodies. No witnesses. No explanations. When Jesse Calder arrives in Brackenridge, he begins noticing something no one else seems able to see, subtle distortions in the air surrounding certain people. Moments later, those people disappear. At first Jesse believes it’s coincidence. Then the pattern begins to emerge.

Step into Burrington, a town where time twists, shadows linger, and Halloween never truly ends. In The Hollowed Hours: Five Mind-Bending Tales of Horror and Suspense from Burrington, five chilling short stories plunge you into a night unlike any other. October 31, 1826, when children vanish, restless spirits roam, and the dead reclaim the streets they once called home.

Before Burrington existed, there was Silas Glaston; a man of ambition, wealth, and unshakable certainty. Born into privilege, raised to command, and destined to leave his mark upon the land, Silas sees the world not as it is, but as it should be under his direction. From the gilded halls of his family estate to the polished deck of his ship, he charts a course for greatness, blind to the shadows gathering just beyond the horizon.

Determined to uncover the truth, Beck ventures into Burrington and finds herself trapped in a nightmare she cannot escape. The town is alive at night, its residents cursed to relive the same day from 1827.

She was a beloved teacher. A trusted guardian. A monster hiding in plain sight. From 1988 to 2009, Emily Cannister—kindergarten teacher, community favorite, and secret killer—kidnapped and murdered fifteen children. To the outside world, she was kind and nurturing. But behind closed doors, she was consumed by obsession, delusion, and a twisted longing to claim the children she could never have. In 2012, during her third murder trial, Emily confessed. But her admission raised more questions than it answered.
