50 years after the gruesome murder of 2 girls and headmaster of hanley, vanessa, our main character, is enrolled at the Hanley Boarding School for girls. Throughout the novel vanessa battles the demons of The School with her classmates; rickie, laura, marie and ingrid. Theres ghosts, witches and possession. This novel is filled the 80s horror stereotypes, detailed scenes and overall amazing story line.
