Monsters don’t always break in.
Sometimes, they’re invited…

Then elderly Greta moves in.

Soon, Maddie becomes the keeper of Greta’s history.
At the same time, small things start to happen in the building. Objects move. Residents are unsettled. And Ross, Maddie’s ex, turns up again.
But Greta knows exactly how this story goes.
What to tell.
What to leave out.
And how to draw Maddie in.
