It was a day unlike any other in the town of Deacon’s Landing, Connecticut.  It was the day Kenny Atkins cornered Matty Anderson in the locker room on what turned out to be the final day of classes at Deacon’s Landing Middle School. When the school is destroyed by fire, the teachers speak in hushed tones of “Dark Annie” Carlson, one of their own who vanished mysteriously shortly before the start of the school year.     For nearly three decades the school remains dark and empty. Now the school is rebuilt and ready to accept students once again.  A series of seemingly random events arouses the suspicions of police officer Matthew Anderson.  Cryptic warnings from unrelated accident and assault victims and the return of Anderson’s childhood nemesis bring the legend of Dark Annie back to the forefront.  Anderson confides in two old friends, Brian Murphy and Holly Wayne, and together they must face  the secret horror buried beneath the idyllic façade of Deacon’s Landing.     In order to save the town’s children they will be forced to confront the truth, the legend and the terror of Dark Annie.

When his girlfriend is killed in a car accident, Nick is ordered to Springbrook Healing and Recovery Center. There he forges an uneasy friendship with his roommate, an alcoholic named John Curran, and meets fellow heroin addict Sarah McCallister. As Nick struggles with the agony and sickness of withdrawal, he finds no solace even at night, when his dreams are filled with images of blood and murder.

Twins David and Diane Walsh, when together, can communicate with the dead. They have parlayed their gift into fame and fortune as the hosts/stars of the reality series The Cemetery Game. The inevitable excesses that come with their success lead the twins to a public relations disaster and they are forced into retirement. After nineteen months out of the public eye, David and Diane are lured back into the spotlight by their manager, Joyce Clark. If they can help an elderly woman communicate with her deceased husband, then perhaps the public-and more importantly, the network-will accept them once again. The twins are reluctant to accept the job, but Joyce is persuasive and they soon find themselves in Lansing, Michigan, in the home of Emily Andrews and her son, Brian. When the twins attempt to contact the elderly woman's husband, they are confronted by a spirit of untold power and evil. David and Diane are separated. While David searches frantically for his sister, Diane finds herself a prisoner within her own body. She is forced to watch as the maleficent spirit commits acts of unspeakable evil toward all who cross its path. Separated and with their powers at their weakest, the Walsh twins must navigate an unfamiliar city to reunite in time to stop the ancient, evil entity from fulfilling its unknowable plan.
