Sometimes missing children become the night
Fifteen-year-old Jacob Kelly would love to go back to simpler times. Before his
parents’ divorce and the onset of his older brother’s schizophrenia. But when
he returns to his hometown, things feel off. After a series of strange
occurrences in his new house, Jacob fears the house is haunted, or even worse,
he is losing his mind.
To his surprise, Jacob discovers a mysterious teenage runaway, Sanctuary
Daniels, living in the house. She reveals she has been kept by a figure known
only as Mother, in a place where downstairs children are languishing prisoners,
and upstairs children do Mother’s bidding.
Both Jacob’s investigation into Sanctuary’s allegations and their budding
romance are cut short when she is reclaimed by evil beings. Beings who unleash
terror upon Jacob and his family. Now he must journey to a real haunted house
to save his first love and fight for his life.

THINGS THAT GO BUMP IN THE NIGHT
My eyes snapped open as three words surfaced in my sleepy
brain. You’re not alone. A cold settled into my flesh, making the
fine hairs on my arm stand up. I sat up in bed, sucking in a deep breath, and
stared into the darkness, unsure what had woken me. My lights were off. It was
pitch black. Then the distinct pitter-patter of footsteps sounded down the
hall.
“Mom?” When I got no answer, I jumped out of bed and
scrambled for the light switch. The overhead fluorescent light blinked on, and
I immediately noticed the closet door was partway opened again. I was sure I’d
closed it this time, so I started off with slow, measured steps to investigate.
I yanked the door open the rest of the way and hit the closet light. I scoured
the walls to discover more writing. The single word, HELP, was written in the
same marker on the wall. My pulse skyrocketed. It freaked me out.
I crept over to the bed and grabbed the blanket, swinging it
around my shoulders like a cape, settling down on the drafty hardwood floor.
With a shiver of anticipation, I kept my eyes pinned to the door, straining to
hear the slightest noise. It was eerily quiet. Even the wind had died
down.
Unexpectedly, I heard a girl’s voice, so soft it was hardly
audible, as it drifted up from the floor. It was only the word,
“I’m.”
I scooted over to the vent and whispered, “Um…hello?” There
was no reply. It could have been a ringing or humming in my ear. Yeah, I’d only
imagined it was a voice. Yet, I hadn’t imagined the writing on the wall. I
mean, what the hell? I got up and decided to have a look around. If someone was
in the house, I had to know. I exited my room and began my
search.
I stood face to face with a long and quiet hallway—doors on
the left and right. My mind was a hot blank space as a thread of fear tugged me
along.
About R.J. Garcia:
R.J. Garcia
is a bestselling author of YA suspense. She is a wallflower, and mom of two
smart kids. She earned her MSW and has worked with foster children.
Writing has been her other great love.
Yet growing
up with dyslexia, she had a love/hate relationship with books. She loved the
covers and the idea of escaping into them. Learning to read didn’t come easy. A
lot of her classmates bullied her. Nevertheless, she wanted it enough and
eventually became a proud bookworm.
For as long
as she could remember, she thought up stories, scribbling them down on cheap
notebook paper. She has come along way since then, publishing her first two
novels: Nocturnal Meetings and The Call of Death with The Parliament House. Her
upcoming novel, The Star Forgot is coming from Midnight Tide Publishing.
