Listen on Spotify ↗
This playlist follows Molly and Michael’s uneasy adjustment to a new family, Heather’s troubling fixation on the ghost child, and the growing urgency of trying to save her. The instrumentals move between eerie, watchful spaces and warmer moments of connection; the vocal songs evoke grief, loneliness, family tension, and the pull of the past without losing the book’s juvenile-gothic atmosphere.
