When all the girls are sleeping
by Emily Arsenault
With the first anniversary of her (ex)best friend’s death at their prestigious boarding school approaching, Haley begins to ask questions about what happened that night.
The official version is that Taylor fell from her dormitory window after taking illicit substances, but when Haley watches the last video recorded on Taylor’s phone, it seems something else might be at play. There are stories about ‘The Winter Girl’ – a ghost said to haunt the senior dormitory every February – could Taylor have been frightened to death?
As Haley investigates, the line between fact and rumour begins to blur, two of her friends start acting strangely, and it begins to feel like Haley is the unlucky senior being haunted this year…
When all the girls are sleeping is a spooky and mysterious ghost story that will keep you guessing until the end!
