Chelsea Glitter and the Graveyard on the Hill By Werner Schmidt

A Young Adult Magical Realism Novel

Seven days after the crash, thirteen-year-old Chelsea Glitter stands beneath a yew tree in the graveyard, staring at the moon.

She cannot leave.

Seven days.

To understand.

To decide.

But something seems off.

The fog keeps finding her.

A door in the yew tree fades in… then out again.

The chapel gargoyle seems to have shifted.

And the longer Chelsea stays, the more the graveyard begins to change her.

A story she once told as a child begins to breathe.

The disc at the heart of the labyrinth stirs.

And the line between memory, imagination, and reality begins to thin.

Some visitors move on.

Some remain.

Some are taken—by forbidden forces… breaking something ancient.

As her final sunset approaches, Chelsea must face the truth she has been resisting… before the graveyard decides for her.

Because in this place, denial has teeth.

And some fates are worse than death.

Chelsea Glitter and the Graveyard on the Hill is an imaginative, emotionally resonant coming-of-age story, blending magical realism, fantasy, and supernatural mystery—where grief, identity, and the fragile boundary between life, death, and everything in between begins to shift.

Perfect for readers who loved The Graveyard Book, Corpse Bride, The Book of Life, and The Sixth Sense—with a whisper of Shakespearean imagination.

Enter the graveyard.

Stay until your truth finds you.
