GHOSTSHIP Meets SCREAM!

It's the living versus the dead in the ultimate grudge match.

Cherry and Olive might sound delicious and nutritious, but too much of either could make you sick. And with their birthday looming, the girls are celebrating with a weekend on a ghost ship. Olive gets to explore the supernatural, and Cherry gets to investigate a real-life historical murder mystery, just like the podcasts she adores.

The group they end up sailing with is decent—some even have serious potential for fun, especially the brooding Luis—that is until a storm rises, the radio dies, and one by one the guests turn up dead. But this is Cherry’s specialty. She came to find the identity of a killer from the past. As long as she and Olive stay safe, she can multitask.

Except the dead won’t stay down, and Cherry is seeing ghosts around every corner. For the first time in her life, she cannot trust her own senses. One thing is for certain, they are all trapped on the ship with a murderer. And at the end of the day, does it really matter if the thing hunting you is living or already dead? Either way, they’re not going to be leaving the ship alive.
