For fans of Ashley Winstead, Jessica Knoll, and Jo Piazza, an electric debut thriller about what happens when one of the first child stars of the social media age grows up . . . and goes missing.
Hazel Davis is drifting: shes stalled in her career, living in a city she hates, and less successful than her younger sister, @evelyn, a mega-popular lifestyle influencer. Evie came of age online, having gone viral at five years old for a heart-tugging daddy-daughter dance. Ten years older and spotlight-averse, Hazel managed to dodge the family YouTube channel--so although she can barely afford her apartment, at least she made her own way.
Evie is eighteen now, with a multimillion-dollar career and unlimited opportunities, but Hazel is still protective of her little sister and skeptical of the way everyone seems to want a piece of her: Evies followers, her YouTuber boyfriend and influencer frenemies, and their opportunistic mother. So when Evie disappears one day--during an unsettling live stream that cuts out midsentence--Hazel is horrified to have her worst instincts proven right.
As theories about Evies disappearance tear through the internet, inspiring hashtags, Reddit threads, podcast episodes, and scorn, Hazel throws herself into the darkest parts of her sisters world to untangle the threads of truth. After all, Hazel knows Evie better than anyone else . . . doesnt she? -

- 9781683691389
Meet the women writers who defied convention to craft some of literatures strangest tales, from Frankenstein to The Haunting of Hill House and beyond . Frankenstein was just the beginning: horror stories and other weird fiction wouldnt exist without the women who created it. From Gothic ghost stories to psychological horror to science fiction, women have been primary architects of speculative literature of all sorts. And their own life stories are as intriguing as their fiction. Everyone knows about Mary Shelley , creator of Frankenstein, who was rumored to keep her late husbands heart in her desk drawer. But have you heard of Margaret Mad Madge Cavendish , who wrote a science-fiction epic 150 years earlier (and liked to wear topless gowns to the theater)? If you know the astounding work of Shirley Jackson , whose novel The Haunting of Hill House was reinvented as a Netflix series, then try the psychological hauntings of Violet Paget , who was openly involved in long-term romantic relationships with women in the Victorian era. Youll meet celebrated icons ( Ann Radcliffe, V. C. Andrews ), forgotten wordsmiths ( Eli Colter, Ruby Jean Jensen ), and todays vanguard ( Helen Oyeyemi ). Curated reading lists point you to their most spine-chilling tales. Part biography, part readers guide, the engaging write-ups and detailed reading lists will introduce you to more than a hundred authors and over two hundred of their mysterious and spooky novels, novellas, and stories.
