A Haunting: A Cold Dark Night, Book One

By Joe Egly

Some love stories begin with a kiss.
This one begins with a scream.

Sixteen-year-old Shiloh is spending the summer at Camp Willow Lake to forget everything: his ex, his anxiety, and the boy-shaped ache in his chest. But when an eerie fog rolls in, and whispers echo through the trees, he discovers something darker than homesickness is stalking the campers.

As missing journal pages lead him deeper into the woods-and into the past of a quiet boy named Ash-Shiloh must untangle a haunting mystery before the fog takes someone else. Maybe even him.

And through it all stands Rye: the boy who doesn't smile, the boy with his own shadows, the boy Shiloh can't seem to look away from.

A Haunting is the first book in A Cold Dark Night, a standalone BL/YA horror light novel series where soft boys meet sharp things, red thread binds more than love, and the monsters wear familiar faces.
