Steve McElhenny\u2019s The Girl With a Porcelain Face will spook and scare as it immerses readers in a race against time rollercoaster of a read; all set against the backdrop of one of the twentieth century\u2019s most defining decades.<\/p>\n
A hellacious thunderstorm rages overhead of the small southern English tin mining town of Bleddington, waking teenager, Willard Jennings, from his sleep.<\/p>\n
Through the fleeting flashes of lightning, he sees a broken and twisted figure of what appears to be a young girl with a porcelain mask embedded onto her face. With each new lightning flash, he sees the spirit one step closer to his bed, before vanishing, as mysteriously as she appeared.<\/p>\n
In the days that follow, Willard, accompanied by an unlikely ally, who has shared a similar vision, begins to uncover clues about the girl\u2019s true identity and learns that her vengeful spirit may have been the cause of many premature deaths for the townsfolk of Bleddington.<\/p>\n
The unexplained deaths within the town recommence and Willard finds each new fatality is getting closer to the Victorian home overlooking the town in which his father and he reside.<\/p>\n
In a race against time, he must find out who the girl is, how she died, and what she wants.<\/p>\n
Set against the backdrop of 1985, The Girl with a Porcelain Face mixes traditional ghost story elements with mystery, intrigue, and a (blood) splattering of wit.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
