From the author of A Witch in Time comes a haunting tale of ambition, obsession, and the eternal mystery and magic of film - perfect for fans of The Night Circus and The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue.
A vanished star. A haunted film. A mystery only love can unravel . . .
1968: Gemma Turner once dreamed of stardom. Now she's on the cusp of obscurity. When she's offered the lead in a radical new horror film, Gemma believes her luck has changed - but her dream is about to turn into a nightmare. One night, between the shadows of an alleyway, Gemma disappears on set and is never seen again. Yet she's still alive. She's been pulled into the film. And the script - and the monsters within it - are coming to life. Gemma must play her role perfectly if she hopes to survive.
2007: Gemma Turner's disappearance is one of Hollywood's greatest mysteries - one that's haunted film student Christopher Kent ever since he saw L'Etrange Lune for the first time. The screenings only happen once a decade, and each time, there is new, impossible footage of Gemma that shouldn't exist. Curiosity drives Christopher to unravel the truth. But answers to the film's mystery may leave him trapped by it forever . . .
