📝 Description: Fright House

Penny Winters possesses the ability to see ghosts or perhaps suffers from insanity. She takes a job at Fright House, a former insane asylum converted into a Halloween attraction. The building becomes a trap as workers vanish and walls shift. Her past returns to haunt her while tormented spirits awaken within the structure. Tory Jackson leads a team of Paranormal Scene Investigators to cleanse the location of evil. He hopes this mission will prove his obsession with hunting ghosts is valid. The evil inside Fright House has its own plans for them. Chaos and terror consume the night as Penny and Tory discover the boundary between the living and the dead is thin. Fred Wiehe writes this story, drawing on haunted house and paranormal investigation traditions. He takes concepts from Poltergeist to their extreme limits. Readers who enjoy unexpected twists in supernatural fiction will find value here. Those seeking straightforward linear narratives may find the shifting reality disorienting.
