Leigh Baxton is scared her mom will come back from the dead - just like the prom queen did.

While the town goes crazy over the news, Leigh bikes to the local cemetery and buries some of her mom's things in her grave to keep her there. When the hot and mysterious caretaker warns her not to give gifts to the dead, Leigh cranks up her punk music and keeps digging.

Two dead sorceresses evicted the prom queen from her grave to bury someone who offered certain gifts. Bury them alive, that is, then resurrect them to create a trio of undead powerful enough to free the darkest sorceress ever.

With help from the caretaker and the dead prom queen, Leigh must find out what's so special about the gifts she gave, and why the sorceresses are stalking her and her sister. If she doesn't, she'll either lose another loved one or have to give the ultimate gift to the dead - herself.

The Grave Winner Series

Several deep breaths later, I pulled the rope and the door creaked open. I reached up a tentative hand and unfolded the ladder. Nothing but inky darkness covered the entrance. Stale hot air wafted from inside with a hint of decay. Something was definitely dead up there, but it could be anything, things worse than what haunted my brain. 


Dad came out in shorts and a t-shirt. "Hey. Whoa. I'm climbing up there, remember?" 


I glanced up into the black hole, my scalp prickling. No matter how much I didn't want to go up there, no matter how much I didn't want whatever lurked up there to do with me, I wasn't about to let my only parent go up alone. 


"I'll go up, too," I said. "You're getting old. I don't want you to hurt yourself." 


"It's okay, Dad," I said, stepping up onto the first rung. "I got this." 


"Well, you'll need a flashlight." He took two from the table by the trash can and tested them both. Satisfied, he handed one to me.
