Thrills and Chills Inc.: The Possession of Isabella

By Tom Campbell

A blizzard. A haunted past. A fight for friendship in the icy heart of Busse Woods.

From the Thrills and Chills Inc. series comes a holiday ghost story you'll never forget, packed with supernatural suspense, snappy banter, and the unshakable bond of friends who refuse to give up on each other.

It's Christmas break, 1976, and Isabella is back in Rolling Meadows after months away. For Tommy, Karen, Kelly, Paul, Steve, and Rich, her return is supposed to mean sled races, basement hangouts, and plenty of laughs. But the moment she steps out of her family's station wagon, something feels... wrong.

A red glass ornament shatters on its own. Christmas lights flicker when Isabella's mood changes. She's caught whispering in the library, in a language no one recognizes. Then, during a sledding trip, she nearly leads Tommy across dangerously thin ice.

The gang's search for answers uncovers an old local legend: Ethan, a boy who vanished one winter and was said to return in another form, bringing with him strange whispers, cold shadows, and the power to slip inside those he chooses. Now it seems Ethan has found Isabella, and he's not letting go.

As a once-in-a-century blizzard bears down, Thrills and Chills Inc. puts together their most daring plan yet: bells, music, salt, and a circle of Christmas lights around the ancient stone deep in Busse Woods. On Christmas Eve, in the teeth of the storm, they'll face Ethan, a battle of will, friendship, and courage where one mistake could mean losing Isabella forever.

Filled with eerie twists, laugh-out-loud moments, and the nostalgic charm of a pre-cell-phone era, The Possession of Isabella delivers a chilling winter adventure that will have readers turning pages long into the night. Fans of Stranger Things, The Hardy Boys, and Goosebumps will love this blend of supernatural mystery, small-town legend, and unstoppable friendship.
