Before They Grow Up

In Briar Hollow in the fall of 1994, a group of children begins asking the questions the adults have learned not to ask. Their search for the truth behind a pattern of disappearances leads them toward a place built on bright smiles, dark secrets, and the terrible cost of looking away.

A haunting story about friendship, courage, and the children the world forgets to protect.

Horror with a conscience.

Before They Grow Up is not interested in easy monsters. Jesse Mann’s debut asks what adults owe children, how fear becomes certainty, and whether a child’s worst moment should be allowed to decide the person they become.
