Check out this chilling synopsis for The Babysitter Lives
When high school senior Charlotte agrees to babysit the Wilbanks twins, she plans to put the six-year-olds to bed early and spend a quiet night studying: the SATs are tomorrow, and checking the Native American/Alaskan Native box on all the forms doesn’t mean jack if you choke on test day.
But tomorrow is also Halloween, and the twins are eager to show off their costumes — Ron is a nurse, in an old-fashioned white skirt-uniform, and Desi has an Authentic Squaw costume, complete with buckskin and feathered headdress. Excitement is in the air.
Charlotte’s last babysitting gig almost ended in tragedy, when her young charge sleepwalked unnoticed into the middle of the street, only to be found unharmed by Charlotte’s mother. Charlotte vows to be extra careful this time. But the house is filled with mysterious noises and secrets that only the twins understand, echoes of horrors that Charlotte gradually realizes took place in the house eleven years ago. Soon Charlotte has to admit that every babysitter’s worst nightmare has come true: they’re not alone in the house.
The Babysitter Lives is a mind-bending haunted house tale from the Jordan Peele of horror literature, Stephen Graham Jones. Jones is a Blackfoot Native American author of horror, sci-fi and a cornucopia of other interesting genres. His literary style and prolific output has him already established as one of the most important voices in the literary world. Jones also happens to be a professor of English at the highly esteemed University of Colorado Boulder.
Check out what Jones has to say about the release of The Babysitter Lives:
Some stories work so well out loud. I think The Babysitter Lives is one of those stories. I couldn’t have dreamed of a better person to bring it to life than Isabelle Star LeBlanc. I hope listeners enjoy it — I mean, I hope it makes them leave the lights on.
