12 year old Olly is resistant to spending a night with his nana while his parents work out some marital issues. Probably for good reason.
The residents of Newcrest Haven aren't quite right. But Nana Ivy promises the young lad a night of fun with the other occupants, not to mention a slice of delicious cherry pie. They head off to a talent hall where a smorgasbord of aged care residents show off their slightly off kilter talents (who doesn't love a blood sacrifice right). Suddenly things turn dark as a kid his own age is bought to the stage and Olly realises he needs to get out; and fast. Will he make it out alive, or succumb to the desires of Newhaven?
This is one of those reads that will make you think ... wtf just happened to me, and I dig it. Fast paced, quirky, horrific and unputdownable.
