Spine-tingling original fiction by Timothy X Atack. Vidya's research in Brazil has drawn a blank, and she's feeling desperate for Ben and Maya, who are increasingly terrified by the spirit who seems to have taken up residence in their home. They've nicknamed her 'Sweetheart' to try and mitigate their fear. Then one night Vidya gets a call from Maya to say that Sweetheart has appeared on the stairs. And she's holding a knife. Reader, Amanda Lawrence Music by Timothy X Atack Producer, Mary Ward-Lowery
