Are you sick of horror plots being reused over and over again? If so, Carry Me to My Grave will be a refreshing surprise. No ordinary ghosts, vampires or zombies here. Instead an ancient evil awakens from beneath an equally ancient tree. Its goal is simple, get Maggie Wise’s body once she is dead. And it will do anything to achieve that goal…
It’s 1950 and Maggie Wise is dying in small town Indiana. Called a witch in her hometown in rural Maine, Maggie has one dying wish: for her son to return Maggie’s body there for burial within two days of her death. Maggie dies before her son, Malcolm, can ask why. He and Violet, Malcolm’s older brother’s abandoned wife, take on the challenge. So begins an adventure in horror and family drama by car and train. Can the two of them get Maggie home? What is chasing them? And why are they hearing Maggie’s favorite song echoing within her sealed coffin?
The twists just keep coming in the totally original plot of Carry Me to My Grave. If you love horror, thrillers or mysteries, don’t miss this high octane ride. 5 stars!
