What We Buried in Ashmoor

When four teenagers receive identical black invitations to an abandoned facility called Ashmoor, none of them remember ever being there.

Yet Ashmoor remembers them.

Evan, Lina, Marcus, and Noah are drawn back into a place buried at the edge of town—and buried even deeper in their own forgotten pasts. Once inside, Ashmoor begins to awaken, revealing corridors that listen, rooms that replay memories, and a truth far more unsettling than ghosts.

Years ago, Ashmoor was not a prison, but a research facility for children who could sense, hear, and influence things others could not. The four of them were part of it. And they made a choice—one that left another child behind.

Now, the building demands remembrance.

Separated into trials that force them to confront guilt, fear, silence, and power, the four must face who they were before they can decide who they will become. As Ashmoor collapses under the weight of its own consciousness, the question is no longer how to escape—

—but what must be sacrificed to ensure no one is ever trapped again.

A psychological horror filled with quiet dread and emotional depth, this novel explores memory, responsibility, and the cost of being chosen, proving that the most terrifying places are not haunted by monsters, but by what we choose to forget.
