Description
Twenty years ago, the residents of Velkwood Vicinity vanished—or became ghosts—leaving behind a haunted suburban neighborhood and three childhood friends who alone escaped its fate. Now Talitha has built a restless life far from the town, but an unexpected invitation draws her back alongside her estranged former friends, Brett and Grace, to uncover what truly happened. As past and present converge, the trio must confront buried memories, family secrets, and the rigid social pressures hidden beneath suburbia’s picture-perfect surface. Blending supernatural horror with poignant explorations of memory, identity, queerness, and the difficult meaning of home, this atmospheric novel transforms an ordinary neighborhood into an unsettling reckoning with the past.
