With Halloween right around the corner, we’re in the market for a new horror. When The Blood Texts landed on our doorstep, we couldn’t resist opening it up and taking a peek.
This hauntingly creepy story follows 14 year old Evangeline who knows she isn’t good. She knows she might even be a bully to her quiet, studious classmate Olivia. But when her dad returns home with a sinister looking Watching Elf, desperately hoping it will push her to behave ‘just in time for Christmas’, she’s positive he’s lost the plot.
But then footsteps scuttle past flickering fairy lights when she’s sneaking to places she shouldn’t. A malevolent figure is reflected in her phone screen, when she’s about to share malicious photographs. And, when a bullying teacher is brutally attacked during her detention, Evangeline starts to wonder: is this Watching Elf more than just a doll?
We’ve got an exclusive chapter for you to sink your teeth into.
