Late one night, three bored teenagers head out into the dark English countryside. They soon find a remote cottage, inhabited by an old woman who no-one has seen for many years. According to local rumors, this woman's life was ruined many years ago by a tragic curse. Now, anyone who looks into her eyes will die immediately.

Cold and looking for excitement, the three girls dare one another to go closer to the cottage, to peer through the windows and try to see this mysterious woman. Soon they're trapped in a fight for their lives, as they discover that not only is the curse real, but it's far worse than anyone could ever have imagined.

Thirty years earlier, Maddy Park's life is torn apart by a horrific car crash. Although she eventually makes a full recovery, Maddy begins to notice something strange happening to people in her life. As her suspicions grow, she turns to the only person who might be able to help her. Can her curse be lifted, or is she doomed to a life of misery? And how will she react when, many years later, three young girls come to her door late at night?

The Eyes of Maddy Park is a standalone horror novel about a terrified woman, three girls who should know better, and a horrific curse that anticipates the way that each of its victims will die.
