Thriller readers, like you, are saying, “This book shook me. I could not stop reading until I found out if Nellie would be okay. Phew, what a ride.”

Enjoy this short excerpt:

Now that I know Aster is safe, my body makes its discomfort known. My mouth is dry from hours in the stifling heat, my stomach rumbles. I can live with the hunger, but the heat and lack of water is making me light-headed.

“Do you think you can bring me some water? I’m very thirsty.”

Aster seems excited to be able to help in the strange situation. “I can.” She sits the doll against the shed wall before she goes. “Elyse wants to stay with you.”

Without another word, Aster runs off in the direction of the cabin. “Grass, go with her. Protect her.”

The dog doesn’t need my prompting, she follows Aster everywhere.

While I wait for Aster, I sit against the wall trying to plan how I’ll get the water into the shed. The gaps in the wood are not large enough to pass a cup through. There are gaps between the bottom of the planks and the floor. I kick at one and it breaks open wider, wide enough to pass a cup through.

I kick some more, hoping to break the board loose so I can escape. Another small piece of wood falls away, but the plank holds.

I imagine Anna had tried the same tactics and failed like I did.

How long had she been locked in here if she carved her name in the wall?

A scurrying sound behind me makes me freeze. It’s too soon for Aster to have returned. I peak through the gap, but don’t see anything outside that could make the sound.

I hear the sound again, turn in the direction it’s coming from.

Through the gap in the wall and the floor, I can see the doll leaning against the shed. Sweat drips into my eyes as I watch the doll move to the right.

I wipe at the sweat, sure I’m hallucinating from the heat and dehydration. When I look back, the doll is gone.

Laying flat on the floor, I look out the gap where the doll had sat only moments before. I see tiny plastic legs walking a few steps, then stopping, as if she felt me watching and froze.

Hallucination. Only a hallucination.

I shove away from the view, move to the far side of the shed, putting as much distance between me and the doll as I can.

"I won’t hurt you. I want to help."

The words are in my head, only in my head.

I fight panic, fight the hysterical laughter that wants to escape my chest, fight the thought that I’m losing my mind.

I need water.

I scrunch my eyes shut and whisper to the air, “Aster, please hurry.”

Descripción de la tienda

We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.
