Blood and Brume

For fans of The Ghost of Marlow House by Bobbi Holmes comes a thrilling new YA horror.

Sixteen-year-old Ellie Porter has had enough. After her mother’s boyfriend assaults her, Ellie runs away, determined never to return. With nowhere to go, Ellie decides to hide out in an abandoned house at the behest of her only friend, Sam.

However, a series of frightening experiences cause Ellie to regret ever stepping into the house in the first place. She is consumed with fear when two young men in 19th-century costume appear before her, claiming to be its owners. Ellie's initial assumption—that they are Steampunk enthusiasts—quickly evaporates when she learns they are ghosts.

As the portal opens between the material world and spirit world, Ellie awakens to the profound realization that the unresolved in life can transcend time and space. And until she can rectify this, there will be no peace.

“Rarely do I stay awake late into the night anymore, but once I sat down to read Blood and Brume I couldn't put it down. A page turner from the beginning!”

Maki Morris grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area. In high school, she fell madly in love with Classic Literature: Austen, Brontë, Dickens, Dumas, James, Shelly, Tolstoy, and everything else! What she loved most about these books were the ways these authors used words to paint the story like beautiful artwork. She wrote poems in her teenage years, and didn’t seriously start writing again until her daughter was 4 years old.
