What you need to know before your trail

Welcome to Serenity Falls – the most idyllic, and safest, town in the US – a place to grow up, grow your family and grow old together. For Dan and his daughter, Sadie, it’s the perfect relocation option. A fresh start, thousands of miles from their troubled past in the UK.

But their idyll is shattered when they find a dead body in the swimming pool of their new house – a house Dan’s late mother kept secret from him all his life.

It’s just the start of a series of disturbing discoveries. Abandoned houses where people have seemingly just upped and left. The strange woman Sadie sees around town putting up ‘missing’ posters for a child who drowned almost thirty years ago. An ice cream van that drives around at night making sure residents are asleep…

As plans gear up to celebrate Serenity Falls’ fiftieth anniversary, something is stirring beneath the surface of the blissful façade. Is Serenity Falls really the perfect town or is it founded on something far darker? And is someone so desperate to keep its secrets that they’d resort to anything to preserve them?

Travel Guide

Serenity Falls

A fictional place vague for a reason….but there are some places with this very name in real life – not at all associated with the novel but interesting all the same….

The town’s atmosphere mirrors classic, eerie fictional American settlements – n some ways similar to Stephen King’s Castle Rock or Derry, Maine. It’s definately a place where a blissfully perfect facade hides something deeply sinister underneath.

“An American wonderland, rotten from the inside. And once you’re here, you’re here to stay…”
