Winner of the Ladies of Horror Fiction Award for Best Novella of 2020

“Can you hear the bell chime?”

A girl suffering from paralyzing night terrors finds a missing poster hanging from the door of her apartment building. On that poster is a photograph of a frighteningly familiar face.

It’s her.

Only, she’s never seen this photo before and something about its grin scares her. How its eyes seem to follow her no matter where she finds herself in the room.

Over a series of strange events to follow—events that will make her question whether her sanity is still there or fleeting—she must discover:

What is real and what is the nightmare?

The Bell Chime is the disturbing, psychological novella debut from Mona Kabbani.
Slated for publication on September 2nd, 2020, the Full Corn Moon.


“THE BELL CHIME is a head-on collision of beauty and deep sorrow clawing at the walls of sanity and dragging the reader along for the ride. A stunning debut!” — Glenn Rolfe, author of Until Summer Comes Around and Blood and Rain
