Chills in the Night

CHILLS IN THE NIGHT: THE MIDNIGHT CURSE - VOLUME 17

When midnight strikes, an ordinary family home becomes a living nightmare.

Just after midnight in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, Christopher receives an urgent warning through the Ghost Network. A terrified family has fled their home after windows shatter, furniture flies across rooms, and an unseen presence begins tearing the house apart.

Eric Dalene, his fiercely protective sister Corey, Grandpa Merlin, and young Daniela arrive to investigate. What initially appears to be a violent haunting soon reveals something far more disturbing.

Behind the shattered walls lies a history of cruelty, unexplained disappearances, and secrets that someone has desperately tried to keep buried.

As angry spirits emerge and terrifying supernatural creatures threaten the surrounding neighbourhood, Eric must uncover the truth before more innocent people suffer. Daniela's powerful amethyst magic and her ability to communicate in Spanish may prove essential when the investigation takes an unexpected turn.

With powerful wizardry, sharp tongues, unwavering family loyalty, and Corey's ever-present scraper, the Dalenes confront a nightmare that refuses to remain confined to one house.

But the darkness surrounding Playa del Carmen has more secrets waiting to be discovered.

Some curses don't disappear when the haunting ends.

The Midnight Curse is Volume 17 of Garrick David Pattenden's Chills in the Night series, a supernatural horror thriller combining violent hauntings, disturbing mysteries, family devotion, dark humour, and unfiltered dialogue.
