Consuming the Soul

By Ellen H Reed

What Killed the Children of the Parsons Corners?

"Aug 17, 1855. I am weaker today and so scared. As I rested in my room, I looked out the window and saw my brother, Hiram, standing outside watching me with his cold, dead eyes. Perhaps it was another dream, yet it seemed so real. Every time I dream of my late brother, I seem to fail further. Could my uncles have been right? Could Hiram somehow be draining me of life? What would I find if I could dig up his grave?"

These chilling words send a thrill of terror through fourteen-year-old Sophia Whelan. Discovering the diary of a girl long dead in the attic of a New Hampshire lake house, Sophia is shocked by the tragic tale of a family plagued by a series of mysterious deaths. One by one the children of the Parsons family fall ill and die shortly after their seventeenth birthday. Heart-breaking coincidence? Or is there something far more sinister at work? When Sophia's own sister turns seventeen and abruptly falls ill, and Sophia herself is stalked by a menacing presence, Sophia knows she must discover the horrifying secret of Parsons Corners before it's too late.
