This year's festival welcomed the wrong guest.

In Cedar Hill, Massachusetts, life is quiet and uneventful.

Unless it's Halloween.

Known as Salem's Sister, Cedar Hill has become a Halloween destination thanks to its annual Harvest Festival. This year, recently divorced Claudia Rowan pours everything she has into making it the town's biggest celebration yet. When her blog post goes semi-viral, visitors flood into town, leaving every motel room booked.

Needing the extra cash, Claudia decides to rent out her guest bedroom.It's only for two nights.

How bad could it be?

Then the woman arrives.

There's something unsettling about her—something Claudia can't explain. The more she searches for answers, the stranger things become… until one terrifying question refuses to leave her mind:

Is she in danger?
