Delacorte Press lists October 13 for Amy Goldsmith’s A Darker Act in paperback, ebook and audio. The young-adult folk-horror story draws on the Wild Hunt and a school acting troupe’s disastrous final performance. Hazel Fletcher once won the lead in a romance based on a local huntsman legend. Months later, an

extra-credit camping trip reunites the cast in an ancient wood, where sheltering in a ruined church brings the consequences of that production back into view. The publisher lists 368 pages and an age range of twelve and up. Its premise joins theatrical secrets to a pursuit narrative: the troupe has awakened something

that refuses to leave its intended prey alone. Read the official source. Image: Delacorte Press / Penguin Random House; official cover.
