Description

Mark is uprooted from his home and high school in the Twin Cities and forced to move with his family into a Victorian in Nowhere-ville. Busy with the relocation and fitting in, Mark’s parents don’t see what’s unfolding around them—the way rooms and left behind objects seem alive with a haunted past. Of course, Mark keeps his ghostly encounters to himself, all the while sinking deeper into the house's dark, alluring, and ultimately terrifying history. As romantic entanglements intensify, the paranormal activity escalates. Past and present come together. Everything is connected—from the bricks in the walls to the hearts beating in their chests, all the secrets of Fountain Dead are finally unearthed.

Advance Praise

“Evil from the past seeps into the present and twists itself around the reader's mind. Braun is an author to watch out for. All my favourite horror ingredients—ghosts, a frighteningly haunted house, and characters I care about.”

—Catherine Cavendish, author of the Nemesis of the Gods series and The Devil’s Serenade

“With all the fantastic flair of a classic haunted house tale but with a decidedly unique and terrifying sensibility, Fountain Dead is everything you can want in a ghost story...and so much more. A must-read for the fall season.”

—Gwendolyn Kiste, Bram Stoker Award winning author of The Rust Maidens and Pretty Marys All in a Row

“Scary and intelligent, Braun's story will creep under your skin as she deftly weaves the past and present together.”

—Tom Deady, Bram Stoker Award winning author of Haven
