Oscar

In Mary Romasanta's spine-chilling thriller, a quaint Chicago church becomes the stage for unspeakable horrors, where an innocent child's plaything transforms into a harbinger of terror.

Laughter fades and children grow eerily silent when Oscar-a charismatic puppet with a tuft of red hair and an unnervingly stitched, ever-smiling face-arrives with promises of joy and revival. But beneath its whimsical exterior lies a sinister force sensed only by best friends Emma and Brianna. They quickly uncover that Oscar is no ordinary puppet-it is a master of fear, twisting dreams into waking nightmares and spreading its darkness into the very soul of the church. Reality and illusion blur as Brianna and Emma plunge deeper into the heart of the mystery, racing to unearth the truth before the malevolence consumes them all. Brianna's gift as an empath emerges as their only hope. Her ability to channel psychic energy becomes both a blessing and a curse, a weapon against a malevolent terror that preys on the trust of the innocent.

Close your eyes, hold your breath-but beware. The most chilling horrors are those that lurk just out of sight. Mary Romasanta's masterpiece dares you to confront the shadows and uncover the truth.
