Publisher's summary

The new girl in town is having trouble fitting into a community that believes there’s a secret Satanic cult conducting rituals in the woods. When her crush goes missing, she starts to wonder if the town’s obsession with evil isn’t covering up something far worse. Perfect for fans of Fear Street!

From the moment Audre arrives in rural Pennsylvania, it’s clear she won’t fit in. After all, her nose ring, her horror movie obsession, and her family’s Ouija board collection aren’t likely to endear her to a town convinced there’s a secret Satanic cult conducting rituals in the nearby woods.

When the preacher’s daughter and Audre’s crush, Elle, goes missing on Halloween weekend, the town is quick to point fingers in Audre’s direction. With the cops busy harassing her family for being nonbelievers and everyone else convinced demons are to blame, Audre realizes she might be the only person who can find her friend.

But the deeper Audre digs, the weirder it gets. Has Elle fallen victim to a Satanic ritual, or is the town’s obsession with the occult covering up something even more sinister?

Featured in Gay Times' list of "LGBTQ Books to Read Right Now"!

"[Y]our next favorite thriller novel."—Teen Vogue

“This book is religious horror and queer teens who are forced to navigate it at its finest. A fantastic love letter to the classic 90s slashers and a triumphant debut.”Jessica Lewis, author of Bad Witch Burning

"In her debut novel, Griffis nimbly weaves together horror tropes and social commentary...At times discomforting and chilling, and at others thrilling and empowering, The Wicked Unseen will be a popular addition to mystery and horror shelves."—Booklist

WOW

I loved the narration so much Elena really gave life and power to each character. It was so refreshing to have a horror story about characters that happen to be queer and the story was super compelling.

Scary, Exciting, and Witty

I really enjoyed this book on audio! It was the perfect story to listen to while working on another activity around the house. The narrator had a great way of bringing out the satirical side of the story while also maintaining the tension. There is one narrator in the book, and she does a great job of making each voice distinct. The mother, daughter, and love interest sound completely different, and so do all the male characters as well.

The actual story is so hilarious! Not in a comedy way but in a situational and dry humor kind of way, perhaps? I did not expect that coming in, so I was pleasantly surprised that this horror story had some funny elements in it while maintaining the horror.

Gigi Griffis is a great writer, I was pulled right into the storyline and finished the audiobook in 2-3 days! It is only around 8 hours though, so you could finish it in one day.
