Mystery/Thriller
C. Moore Catholic High School's 10-year reunion was organized as many reunions are - to reminisce, to see who had made a success of their lives, and in truth, to gossip on who had not. But this party in the secluded, 1890's mansion once owned by a long dead, paranoid WWII Veteran, was to become anything but typical.
After a horrible accident within the mansion, the alumni realize they are locked in and fighting for their lives. Instantly, tempers rise and fingers are pointed as the number of living alumni begins to rapidly decrease. Theories range from there being a murderer in the midst to the mansion possibly being haunted by the previous owner's ghost.
Who or what is responsible and will anyone make it out alive?
Find out for yourself in this combination of a mystery and psychological thriller, with a twisted ending!
Quotes from the Novel
P31
"Make them stop," Remington
commanded Theodore, who couldn't help but raise an eyebrow upon spotting her
ugly pajama set which resembled a dress from the 1800's: long sleeved, polka
dots, ankle length and a frilly neck.
"These walls are decorated
enough. We don't need my guts spilled all over it," he replied. He
cautiously descended the steps anyway, approaching the fighting men as one would
approach a sleeping lion, not that one would want to, anyway.
P74-75
“What a laughing stock,” Allan
laughed, pointing at Julian holding the gun. He turned to Theodore. “Relax,
that idiot doesn’t even know what he’s doing. If he pulls the trigger, he’ll
shoot himself in the stomach.
Breathing heavily, Julian noticed his
mistake and then quickly turned the gun around to Theodore with his trembling
hands. Blood dripped from his nostrils and onto his gray t-shirt.
P117
“Answer me!” he yelled, reaching his
breaking point of patience. He scanned the room quickly, seeking something to
grab her attention but then suddenly lunged forward and kicked the bowl right
out of her hands. The fluid in the bowl spilled everywhere and turned out to be
dark, red blood. He was overcome with shock but just when he thought that
things couldn’t get any more confusing, he noticed something in the midst of
the spillage. Covered in blood, it was about the size of a fist and seemed
rubbery. It wasn’t until Theodore looked closer that he realized that half of
the bloody mound was covered in fat and that part of it seemed to be gently
pulsating.
