Rochester, NY, October 1932. Clara Dawson doesn't believe in ghosts, so when she accepts an invitation to a Halloween gathering at her friend's new home, she expects nothing more than a few cocktails, a spooky séance for laughs, and a chance to forget her troubles.
But the evening takes a turn.
It begins with a glimpse of a strange man in the window. A child's toy appears where no child has been. Then, a flicker of something just out of sight, watching from the shadows.
Clara can't explain what's happening, and those around her don't seem to notice anything out of the ordinary. But as the evening wears on, she's drawn deeper into a ghost story that might not be a story at all.
A Sinister Séance is a slow-burning gothic ghost story steeped in autumnal atmosphere, vintage glamour, and eerie encounters. This novella can be read as a standalone or as the haunting introduction to the Clara Dawson paranormal mystery series. Includes a bonus spooky short story set in the Appalachians!
