The Babysitter's Prayer

A Paranormal Horror Novella with Rituals, Secrets, and Something in the Closet

She was told to follow the bedtime routine. Light the candles. Circle the salt. Whisper the prayer. Or the thing in the closet would come out.

High schooler Emily thought it was just another babysitting job. Watch sweet little Clara, feed her dinner, tuck her into bed.

But bedtime comes with strict rules. And Clara is terrified of what happens if they’re broken.

At first, Emily laughs off the rituals. Kids and their games. But then the closet handle turns on its own. Whispers echo through the baby monitor. And Clara’s nightly prayer starts sounding less like nonsense—and more like a warning.

From Rick Brink, author of The Meat House and The Walls Have Teeth, comes a chilling new Terror Novella about rituals, family secrets, and the horrors that wait just beyond the door.

Whatever you do—don’t forget the prayer.
