“THE WASHING MACHINE” NOVEL BY SHAILLA QUADRA – SYNOPSIS

GENRE: SUPERNATURAL THRILLER

The story starts with Catarina on the train on her way to Blackpool on the day of the Queen Elizabeth Funeral.

Coming to the UK for the first time was her dream travel, also a therapy travel, to recover from Melbourne lockdown’s isolation trauma and reconnect with people.

Among the many new friendships she forged along the way, she also met Jacob, which all signs made evident that he was her soul mate and romance immediately blossomed.

But her dream travels have become a nightmare haunted by ghosts reaching out to her through portals via washing machines.

The washing machine’s attacks have become more vicious and her dearest ones started to die.

While she can’t run away from the washing machine’s entities, she is looking for ways to protect herself so she can figure out a way to stop the washing machines from taking more lives.

Among many loving and dreadful people,

We also follow the story of young kids George and Stacey, after their abusive mother is killed by the washing machine, they run around the country in search for their father, whom they haven’t yet met because their mother have forbidden them from contacting each other, but now their dad is their only hope.

However, Stacey doesn’t know that their mother is dead, George will do everything to protect Stacey and get both of them safe to their father’s home, hoping that their father will love them and be a kind father.

Later in the story we get to meet the lead entity from the washing machine’s world, and we learn the stories from the washing machine’s creatures, how they ended up there, why they are there, how they are much more powerful than we expected, and what are their plans for the world.
