    JEKYLL & HYDE meets THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE in this dark and twisting thriller from the author of Bad Parts. 
Kelly O’Neill hates many things—her dead-end job, her passionless marriage, her strained relationship with her daughter—but none more than the month of September. 
Each year, a sinister letter arrives in her mailbox, a chilling reminder of her past misdeeds sent by a grieving mother. But this year, as the message reaches Kelly, a nightmarish entity attacks her daughter Emma within the confines of an eerie abandoned house. Though physically unharmed, Emma is left mysteriously unable to walk after the incident. 
As Emma struggles to recover, Kelly ventures into the house's attic, desperate to unravel the source of the horror. To her astonishment, she encounters a doppelganger—an exact replica of herself, with the same appearance, voice, and mannerisms. 
Determined to understand her daughter’s worsening condition, Kelly captures the doppelganger and demands answers. But instead of answers, she receives another vengeful letter in the mail. This time, the threat is clear—Kelly must confront her own dark past or risk losing her daughter forever. 
In a heart-pounding race against time, Kelly must navigate a treacherous alliance with her doppelganger and piece together the connection between the house, the letters, and their malevolent sender. Will Kelly uncover the truth and save her daughter before they both succumb to a morbid fate?

    The Shadow out of Time

    "The Shadow Out of Time" is a novella by American horror fiction writer H. P. Lovecraft. Written between November 1934 and February 1935, it was first published in the June 1936 issue of Astounding Stories. The story describes time and space travel by mind transfer. The premise is that a person in a given place and time can switch bodies with someone who is elsewhere or elsewhen. Other writers have re-used this concept in later works, such as drinking tea from Red Forest leaves in the television series 12 Monkeys and long-range communication stones in the Stargate SG-1 television series. As with other Lovecraftian works, this story features otherworldy alien beings that are not simply variations on humans or other familiar terrestrial animals.
