Synopsis

Aboard the schooner Terrapin, seven men set sail, but only three remain after three days in the stifling doldrums. In the oppressive heat and eerie calm of the open sea, one by one, crew members vanish without a trace, leaving nothing but cryptic clues: a trailing rope and ghostly lanterns. As tension rises and paranoia grips the survivors, the truth unravels—a cunning plot to trap a ruthless shipowner and reclaim control of the small-port trade. But even the best-laid plans carry an air of dread in these cursed waters.

That night, there is more at stake than just politics; at least one of them is in real danger. Will they all survive – and if they do, will they be able to start draining some of the poison from the political world they now inhabit?

    MOST POPULAR HORROR AUDIOBOOK OF 2023 - We Are Bookish/NetGalley 
    BEST OF 2023: YA HORROR AND DARK FICTION - "I was hugely impressed by Mark Wheaton's WHO HAUNTS YOU... barely a word is wasted in a tight, gripping and highly original supernatural thriller..." -Tony Jones, Ginger Nuts of Horror 
    THE YEAR IN REVIEW 2023 - "Wheaton...has created a first-rate protagonist in the sarcastic, suspicious, and determined Bex. The author takes the book further than one might expect, right up to Bex's psychiatric commitment, and seeing her hang in there until the bitter end, and never give up, is fantastic." -Colleen Mondor, LOCUS

But when her fellow seniors begin dying in seemingly unrelated incidents, Bex uncovers disturbing connections between their deaths, including that the teens believed they were haunted by long-dead relatives their own family members swear never existed. After Bex is visited by a malevolent specter of her own, she must get the bottom of this horror before she’s its next victim... 
    "An utterly readable teen murder tale with an intriguing twist and an endearing hero. Reminiscent of Los Duncan's classic suspense novel I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER..." - Kirkus Reviews

A vital book that will make any neurodivergent young adult feel seen, heard, and understood." - Craig Perry, producer, Final Destination franchise 
    "I loved it. Wheaton has built a buzzsaw of a supernatural thriller here--scary, surprisingly emotional, and loaded with enough twists to keep you guessing till the final page."- James Vanderbilt, screenwriter, Zodiac
