THE WHISPERING
The whispering wild will take your child if you dare to look away…
Callum Haffenden swears he’ll never return to Granite Creek. But, thirty years after a life-shattering accident, he’s thrust back into the clutches of far north Queensland and a local legend he’s worked hard to forget.
While searching for answers about the death of a local man, the truth of a decades-old mystery of two missing girls surfaces, and suspects begin to pile up.
With an urge to protect his teenage daughter, Callum battles The Whispering burrowing into his ears and fights to resist the lure of the rainforest. After all, everyone knows that the worst things in the rainforest are those unseen.
THE DROWNING GIRLS
She’ll grab you by the ankles and hold you under until you sink…
Nate can’t believe he’s dragged himself up to this backwater town. Port Flinders would have fallen off the map years ago, except for one thing. Tourists flock to its mangrove-lined shores for the annual Drowning Girl festival: sacrifice a girl at sea, and the fishing hauls that keep the town afloat will prosper, don’t and the whole town will sink.
But it’s just a legend, a gimmick. Everybody knows that.
Don’t they?
