Comes the Blind Fury

The scenic beauty of the Paradise Point cliffs hides a chilling past. In 1886, a young blind girl was routinely and cruelly tormented by her peers. On a walk along the cliff, Amanda suffered one final indignity when a nasty trick turned fatal. Crying out, plunging through the darkness into the churning ocean waters, Amanda died, but her desire for revenge lives on.

A century later, the cycle of torment begins again when twelve-year-old Michelle moves to Paradise Point with her family. Just as Michelle begins to adjust to her new life, a bully’s cruel teasing causes her to fall from the cliff, permanently damaging her leg. Now forced to walk with a cane, the world seems set to antagonize her. Ostracized and isolated, Michelle finds comfort from a mysterious blind girl whose desire for friendship and unrepentant anger seem to transcend time. A haunting, terrifying classic, Comes the Blind Fury explores what happens when psychological trauma turns supernatural.
