The Cold Dark Night

by Christian Chiakulas

Summary:

Sarah Watson is a fifteen-year-old recovering heroin addict who’s shut herself inside to avoid the temptations that once destroyed her life. Ready to spend the night shut up in the warmth of her room, she receives a frenzied call from Chrissy Carmichael, a girl at her high school, begging Sarah to meet her at the space “Where Everything Ended,” the site of a terrible crime Sarah committed and got away with. Sarah is sucked into a spiral of violence and deception, and along the way dragged back into the world she’s tried to forget.

Christian Chiakulas’ debut novella is shot of 21st-century grit, a window into the world of outcasted millennials, and a sketch of the darkness that lurks below the facade of a normal life.
