Noelle W Ihli

The Thicket Noelle W Ihli

Norah Lewis ignored her brother's screams that night. Because nothing in the haunted attraction was supposed to be real-let alone deadly.

Desperate for answers, Norah returns to the scene of the crime. And to her horror, the chorus of screams is louder than ever. Thrill seekers-including many of her classmates-are still eagerly lining up to purchase tickets.

But the killer hasn't chosen his hunting ground at random.

And, like everyone else, he's planning another visit.

"Loved it . . . not just as a serial-killer thriller, but as a look into our own psyche." -Jacqui Corn-Uys, Reedsy

"Noelle's writing is clean, crisp and descriptive . . . I could feel the corn of the maze rubbing against my legs." -Janine Pipe, Cemetery Dance Magazine

"One of my top choices for horror novel of 2021." -Anthony Avina, author of Identity
