Shattered: A haunting supernatural thriller

As her eyes grew accustomed to the darkness she made out a form. It was small and slightly hunched, leaning in toward her. Charley whimpered, unable to help herself, and tried to edge slowly to the other side of the bed under impossibly heavy covers. A bony hand shot out and grabbed her by the wrist. It had incredible strength, fingers pressing painfully into her skin as Charley screamed and tried to tug herself away… Then finding it’s way out of the clouds, moonlight lit the room exposing the white, age spotted skin of an old lady. Charley’s eyes followed the bony hand to the bony arm and finally the face of what could only be her aunt. The witch herself; Elizabeth Kane.‘If you like a great psychological thriller, I promise you that you will love Shattered.’DECEPTION. GREED. VENGEANCE.
