Cassie's grief turns to terror when her friend's ghost appears, pursued by fearsome spirits bent on dragging innocent souls back to their own hellish realm. But is this truly a supernatural invasion that clairvoyant Cassie has uncovered? Or is it just a twisted, paranoid vision brought on by Cassie's own insidious madness? Psychological mysteries and paranormal perils combine in this unsettling new series played out against a stylish Cold War era setting."
