The Hushed Boys

By Caleb J. Pecue

The only thing more mysterious than Briarwood Academy, the remote reform school for boys, was the fire that burned it to the ground. Some say whispers from the boys lost in the flames still echo along the abandoned train tracks at night. Legend calls them The Hushed Boys.

Thirty years later, four friends-Wes, Lex, Tommy, and Jordie-meet at those same tracks near the ruins of Briarwood. Tommy's older brother, Aaron, claimed he heard The Hushed Boys calling his name. They didn't believe him, until Aaron vanished without a trace.

Determined to uncover the truth, the friends dig into Briarwood's dark past. But some secrets are better left buried. Are they being haunted by the ghosts of the fire... or hunted by someone who wants The Hushed Boys to stay silent forever?
