The Frozen Scream

Evere Eve 2 stories

Summary

In the quiet Scottish town of Brackenfell, nothing ever happens—until a woman is found dead in the woods, her body turned to something like stone. A year later, fifteen-year-old Lavish Calder can’t shake the memory of a scream she once heard echoing through those same woods. The town has since become a morbid tourist attraction, its population swelling with outsiders who want to see the site of the strange death. But for Lavish, Brackenfell doesn’t feel like home anymore, it feels watched. When a new girl named Carla arrives from California, bringing her bold, effortless charm and a camera always in hand, she drags Lavish, her best friend May, and her cousin George into the one place Lavish swore she’d never return: the woods. What begins as a thrill-seeking adventure quickly curdles into fear when Lavish hears that same scream again—faint, familiar, and calling her by name. Now, as Brackenfell grows restless beneath its fog and whispers, Lavish starts to suspect that the forest isn’t haunted by ghosts at all, but by something far older, something that remembers her.
