Dead Silence
Every town has its own ghost story, and a local folktale around Ravens Fair is about a ventriloquist
named Mary Shaw. After she went mad in the 1940s, she was accused of kidnapping a young boy who
yelled out in one of her performances that she was a fraud. Because of this she was hunted down by
townspeople who in the ultimate act of revenge, cut out her tongue and then killed her. They buried
her along with her "children," a handmade collection of vaudeville dolls, and assumed they had
silenced her forever. However, Ravens Fair has been plagued by mysterious deaths around them after
Mary Shaws collection has returned from their graves and have come to seek revenge on people that
killed her and their families. Far from the pall of their cursed hometown, newlyweds Jamie and Lisa
Ashen thought they had established a fresh start, until Jamie's wife is grotesquely killed in their
apartment. Jamie returns to Ravens Fair for the funeral, intent on unraveling the mystery of Lisa's
death. Once reunited with his ill father, Edward, and his father's new young bride, Ella, Jamie must dig
into the town's bloody past to find out who killed his wife and why. All the while, he is doggedly
pursued by a detective who doesn't believe a word he says. As he uncovers the legend of Mary Shaw,
he will unlock the story of her curse and the truth behind the threat from a rhyme in his childhood: if
you see Mary Shaw and scream, she'll take your tongue. And the last thing you will hear before you
die...is your own voice speaking back to you.
