Old Mill Road
There is safety in pretending a thing is not real.
Even when every fibre of your being knows that is a lie.
There is safety in forgetting.
In a way.
You can’t escape the dream
Twelve years ago four kids found something in the woods that tore their innocence away. They made a vow to keep it secret. Now, impossibly, someone found it again.
The abandoned mill off the old Mill Road has a dark history that has been told for generations, a story about something sinister haunting the woods.
Unable to remember the events of twelve years ago and troubled by the haunted look he sees every time he looks at his sister’s eyes, Nick has returned to learn what happened when they were kids.
Still obsessed with Felicia and Nick’s family suddenly vanishing in the night after their childhood discovery, David is determined to get answers from Nick, while his brother Ian tries to temper his obsession.
Felicia’s return to help Nick will trigger new revelations about the mummified bodies of children appearing in the woods decades apart.
