funerals are for the living by Sami Ellis
Two words: racist cult.
Junie Daniels was a victim of a car accident a month ago. His sister died, and his mother has since been so deep in her grief that she has withdrawn from life most of the time. She is unable to plan her daughter’s funeral, so Junni decides she has to do it.
The cheapest place where Juni can find a grave for her sister is in the next town. But Williamsville has a sinister history and legacy, including that its namesake was a slave who practiced black magic. There’s only so much Jenny can worry about, since she lives in North Carolina, where such historical stories aren’t exactly rare.
But things seem strange in the cemetery. Jenny recruits her best friend Omari to help her investigate what is happening. Then, both girls are taken away. It seems Williamsville’s legacy is no rumor…nor dead. -Kelly Jensen
