Eternity has a price . . .

Harriet is tired of being old. There was a time when she commanded a room, was looked up to, even celebrated. But like so many women her age, she’s been relegated to the background. Overlooked. Made invisible. Now that her daughter has stashed her away at a retirement home and early-stage dementia is blurring the world’s edges, life has become a slow, inexorable march towards death. 

But when her friend Margaret convinces her to participate in a ritual séance, things suddenly begin to change. Harriet feels spryer, sharper, even more hopeful. Is it the last gasps of a senile old woman or is it something more . . . sinister? As Harriet seems to grow younger—reawakening physically, mentally, and sexually—the people around her begin declining, even dying, at a rapid pace. Before long, she realizes that her only shot at saving those she cares most about is to make an unthinkable sacrifice. 

​Younger is a chilling story about the horrors of aging and the allure of youth. It’s a cautionary tale about the things we give up when we fail to embrace every stage of our all-too-short lives.
