The Invisible World

"An eerie and virtuosic debut" (Helen Phillips, author of The Need) about a paranormal investigations TV show that loses control of its subject as they investigate a haunted house

Eve is a frustrated young artist and the owner of what she believes is a haunted house. Sandra is an overworked producer at Searching for . . . the Invisible World, a paranormal investigations show perpetually on the brink of cancelation.

When the show descends upon Eve's home, they're intent on creating just another staged spectacle. But, unexpectedly, the crew encounters some very real activity--shelves collapse, electronics go haywire, a cameraman disappears in the dead of night. Meanwhile, the show's teenage ghost hunter Caitlin is caught up in the unexplained events, convinced she's glimpsing the "other side" and desperate to make contact--even if it means putting the investigation, and herself, in jeopardy.

As the terror mounts, it's up to the show's harried, skeptical producer, Sandra, to create order from the madness--or will the madness take her, too?
