THE HOLLOW CHOIR
Twenty years after a high-school tragedy silenced the Orpheum Theater, failed playwright Lena Quince returns to Marrow's End, dragged home by a letter signed The Orpheum Players.
The once-grand theater is now a husk of velvet and dust, haunted by the memory of seventeen-year-old Tamsin Grail, who died during the 1998 production of Our Town. But the Orpheum isn't empty. Its cracked mirrors still hum with old applause, and its new master, The Director, hungers for another performance.When Lena reunites with her estranged classmates, the curtain rises on a night of confession and blood.
Their secrets become scripts.
Their guilt becomes dialogue.
And the town itself becomes an audience that cannot look away.
As the supernatural Crimson Troupe turns confession into entertainment and shame into spectacle, Lena must write a new ending, or be written out of existence.
Because in Marrow's End, forgiveness has a ticket price, and the show never really ends.
From Annalise Turner, author of Forever Friends, comes a gothic, small-town nightmare of art, guilt, and the stories that won't stay buried.
