Emiko is seventeen and new to Chicago. She moved from Japan with her dad. She doesn’t know anyone.
On her first night, she sees a man standing in a dark window across the street. He doesn’t move. He doesn’t blink.
Then he waves.
The next day, Tess shows up at school. She hooks her arm through Emiko’s and acts like they have always been friends. Tess is funny. Tess is fearless. Tess is the first good thing about this city.
But Tess has secrets.
The man in the window has patience.
And the building across the street has a floor no elevator will take you to.
Girls have gone missing in this neighborhood before. Nobody looked hard enough. Nobody asked the right questions. Nobody wanted to know what was waiting on the thirteenth floor.
Now it wants Emiko.
Don’t Look at the Window is a dark ghost horror novella about dangerous friendship, missing girls, and a building that knows how to wait.
Perfect for readers of Ask for Andrea, The Sun Down Motel, and The Broken Girls who want a darker, more graphic ghost suspense novella.
