In 1926, five women disappeared from a remote island in Vermont. Now, one hundred years later, it's happening again. Struggling actress Marin Keane is shocked when she lands a role in a major motion picture about the unsolved mystery of New Avalon, an island on sprawling Lake Faraday in Vermont. She's even more surprised when she learns that the role requires a weeklong research trip to that very spot. Because New Avalon isn't your ordinary island. A century ago, it was a commune for spiritual mediums--until they all vanished in 1926. The only trace of them was five dresses hanging from the branches of an old oak tree in the middle of the island, one for each missing woman. Some locals say they simply left. Others think they were murdered. But the prevailing opinion, thanks to a diary left behind by one of the vanished, a young woman named Daisy Rue, is that a s嶧nce gone wrong conjured something supernatural that took them all one by one. Not long after arriving, Marin and her castmate

來自《New York Times》暢銷懸疑大師，一部關於受困偏遠島嶼的電影劇組、一場徹底失控的降神會，以及接連消失在樹林中的幽靈驚悚故事……1926 年，五名女性在 Vermont －處偏遠島嶼上離奇失蹤。如今，一百年後，歷史再度重演。苦苦掙扎的女演員 Marin Keane 驚訝地發現自己獲得了一部大型院線電影的角色，該片講述了 New Avalon 未解之謎－那是座落在 Vermont 廣闊的 Lake Farraday 上的一座島嶼。當她得知這個角色需要前往該地進行為期一週的實地考察時，她更感到無比震驚。因為 New Avalon 絕非尋常島嶼。一個世紀前，這裡曾是靈媒們的公社－直到她們在 1926 年全體人間蒸發。她們留下的唯一痕跡，是懸掛在島中心一棵古老橡樹枝條上的五件洋裝，正好對應每一位失蹤的女性。部分當地人認為她們只是單純離開了；有人認為她們慘遭殺害；但最主流的說法－多虧了其中一位失蹤者、年輕女子 Daisy Rue 留下的日記－是一場出錯的降神會召喚出了超自然力量，將她們一個接著一個奪走。抵達後不久，Marin 和劇組同伴們，包括傳奇女星 Violet Wright 與炙手可熱的導演 Ronan Peters，開始察覺到 New Avalon 的詭異異樣。她們在深夜聽見怪異聲響，並產生被人暗中窺視的毛骨悚然感。而在突發的健康緊急狀況導致 Marin、Ronan 以及其他演員滯留島上之後，失蹤事件再度展開。這究竟是有人試圖破壞電影拍攝？還是這座島嶼傳聞中的超自然過往正在吞噬現在？隨著恐懼與懷疑不斷攀升，Marin 翻開了 Daisy 的日記，期盼能從中找到關鍵線索，查明 New Avalon 的女人們究竟遭遇了什麼——以及如何阻止這座島嶼可怕的歷史重蹈覆轍。From the New York Times bestselling master of suspense, a ghostly tale about a film crew trapped on a remote island, a seance gone horribly wrong, and disappearances into the woods...In 1926, five women disappeared from a remote island in Vermont.
