Cults, curses, and supernatural terror—oh, my.

Step into the darkness with Diana Rodriguez Wallach.

    THE SILENCED

    Welcome to The Farm.

    When a late-night research trip to "The Farm," an abandoned girls’ reform school, ends with Hazel Perez falling unconscious, she reawakens with a desire for vengeance that isn't her own.

    The Silenced imagines what would happen if the girls who died in their Troubled Teen Program haunt their abandoned school to get revenge.

    Praise for The Silenced

    "The Silenced is a fantastically eerie ghost story that unflinchingly reveals the sharp teeth of history and how it can draw blood. Dread-inducing at its core, you’ll tear through the pages even while wanting to look away. A must read for any horror fan with an appetite for restless ghosts.”—Vincent Tirado, award-winning author of Burn Down, Rise Up

    “The Silenced isn’t just a gripping story—it’s a raw, unflinching look at the horrors hidden behind the walls of so-called ‘Troubled Teen Industry (TTI)’ programs. Wallach doesn’t shy away from the truth, making this book a powerful and necessary reminder of the voices that institutions tried to silence.”—Meg Applegate, CEO of Unsilenced and author of Becoming UNSILENCED: Surviving and Fighting the Troubled Teen Industry
