A horror writer's death leaves his daughter haunted by voices in this short story by the New York Timesβbestselling author of Secluded Cabin Sleeps Six.
Pip Duke's life has descended into chaos following the death of her father, a bestselling horror writer. She now hears voices all the time, saying troubling things like: Your father's friends and family are after his money, or you should**inherit everything. The voices also say she killed her dad, and the police are after her.
To silence these disturbing thoughts, Pip checks herself into an inpatient therapy center. However, the place is far from calming. She can't trust the staff, and the voices in her head continue to say terrible things. There are those who want you releasedβonly so they can continue to profit off your father's name. A different voice says some wish to claim her inheritance by getting her declared insane . . .
If Pip hopes to ever know peace again, she must explore the depths of her psyche, sort through her memories, and unravel the secret that will be her key to freedom.
