Babysitter's Diary: A Psychological Horror Novella

By Silas Toombs

The lullaby was never just a song.

Babysitter's Diary: A Psychological Horror Novella.

When Mara Holloway hires a quiet seventeen-year-old babysitter, the relief feels almost divine. Exhausted, isolated, and still haunted by a past she never speaks of, Mara needs help with her daughter-and Lila seems perfect.
Gentle. Polite. Almost too perfect.

Then Mara finds Lila's forgotten diary-its pages filled with words that chill her to the bone.

Soon, the nursery wallpaper seems to breathe. The lullaby returns-the one Mara hasn't sung in years. And the house itself begins to remember what happened twenty years ago.

As her grip on reality erodes, Mara must face an unthinkable truth: the new babysitter may not be who she appears to be-and some ghosts refuse to stay buried.

Dark, intimate, and haunting, Babysitter's Diary is a psychological horror novella about grief, motherhood, and the patterns we unknowingly recreate. Perfect for readers who love The Haunting of Hill House, The Silent Companions, and Jennifer McMahon's brand of slow-burn supernatural dread.

Start reading today-and uncover the secret that should have stayed buried.
