The Haunting of Braidwood Manor
With two new books and The Freshman: Book Three, the Holiday of Choices is still going strong! To cap off this season, we're releasing our final book for the season: The Haunting of Braidwood Manor!
Many of you have been asking for a horror book, and we heard you. The Haunting of Braidwood Manor is a gorgeous and eerie tale that takes place within a haunted manor. For more on our newest book, we turned to The Haunting of Braidwood Manor's story lead:
Tell us about The Haunting of Braidwood Manor. What's going down? Will there be ghosts?
'The Haunting of Braidwood Manor' is just what it sounds like: a haunted house story. But like all good haunted house stories, there's much more to it than faces in the windows and bumps in the night. This is a deeply personal story about one girl's journey to understand life after death - a journey that brings her to a place stranger and more mysterious than she could ever have imagined.
As for whether there will be ghosts... I'd say that's something for the readers to find out on their own. Assuming they're brave enough, of course.
What are you most excited for the readers to encounter in this book?
Can I say everything?
To start with, the art is absolutely incredible. Braidwood Manor itself is a fascinating setting because it's creepy and possibly haunted, but it's also one of the most beautiful houses ever. If it was a real place, I'd move there in a heartbeat, ghosts or no ghosts.
Speaking of ghosts, this book has some of my favorite Choices characters yet. I can't wait to see how our readers react to them... especially if those reactions include fan art!
Finally, I'd recommend that this book be played with the sound on and the volume turned UP! Music is one of the key ingredients of horror, and 'The Haunting of Braidwood Manor' is no exception.
This is a horror book, but the people need to know. Will there be any romance?
Horror doesn't necessarily preclude romance. After all, what could be more terrifying than telling someone how you feel about them?
On a scale of 1 - 10, how spooky is this book?
Jessica, they haven't invented a scale that could possibly quantify just how spooky this book is.
Eek! Check into your game for the release of The Haunting of Braidwood Manor and so much more. The team has been working around the clock to make the Holiday of Choices happen, and we're so excited to share it with you! Happy 2017, everyone!
