Perfect for fans ofAce of SpadesandThe Taking of Jake Livingston,this young adult horror debut follows a group of teens as they visit an abandoned reform schooland then return two years later to confront the supernatural evil they awoke there.
Two years ago, four friends went into the abandoned religious reform school Dominic House.
Only three came out.
Riley still bears horrific scars from that night. He doesnt speak to his friends anymore. And hes haunted by the truth: Rileys boyfriend, Ethan, didnt disappear...Something in that house took him.
Now, alongside TVs most famous ghost hunter, Jordan Jones, Riley is returning, determined to find out what happened to Ethan.
But as the night wears on, Riley realizes he isnt just revisiting the most terrifying night of his lifehes reliving it. And this time, whatever lives in Dominic House will make sure they all stay.
With an eerily elegant voice, dual timelines that slowly unravel a chilling ghost story, themes of religious trauma, and secrets in every corner,Trespass Against Usis the kind of horror story that will keep you up long into the night.
Leon Kemp was born and raised in rural Australia among a maze of grape vines and citrus orchards, perfect for wayward explorers. Presently, they live in Melbourne, where they achieved a bachelor of arts with a major in creative writing. They hope to continue weaving stories about queer kids surviving both the kindest and cruelest extremes the world has to offer. When not writing, Leon spends most of their time watching, playing, and reading all things horror, as well as doting on their cats, Midnight and Mayhem, and their dogs, Casper and Lady. Trespass Against Us is their debut novel.
