The Shadows of Elmridge

By Christian Burch

In the fall of 1997, the quiet town of Elmridge, America seemed picture-perfect-until the killings began. As October's chill settles over the streets and the fog rolls in each night, whispers spread of a masked figure haunting the town's edges. He's tall, cloaked in a weathered trench coat, his face hidden behind a pale mask with no expression-only hollow, blackened eyes that seem to see everything.

For Tommy, the quiet bookstore clerk; Susan, the geeky but magnetic teen everyone secretly admires; Cheryl, the flawless cheerleader with a dark secret; Alex, the golden-boy athlete; and Bradley, the loner who knows more than he lets on-the nightmare becomes personal. The killer isn't striking at random. He's hunting them.

As the body count rises and paranoia consumes the town, the five teens are thrust into a deadly game of cat and mouse. To survive, they'll have to uncover the truth behind the mask-the killer's twisted motive buried deep within Elmridge's past. But every clue draws them closer to a horrifying realization: the evil stalking them may be closer than they ever imagined.

A pulse-pounding blend of mystery, fear, and small-town secrets, Shadows Over Elmridge will keep readers guessing until the final page... and glancing over their shoulders long after.
