Details

Someone begins leaving ghost stories for me inside of my little library. These creepy tales come together to tell of the accursed and haunted life of a woman named Hazel. However, when the stories begin to hit a little to close to home, I know it's time to figure out who is leaving and why. Each week, I share the stories with you. And maybe we can figure out what is going on, together. New episodes come out on Wednesdays.
