Just hot off her attachment to The Hunger Game: Catching Fire as Johanna Mason, Jena Malone has signed on to be leading lady in another book-turned-movie, Angelica, a spooky Victorian ghost story by bestselling author Arthur Phillips.

Here’s the synopsis from the book.

The novel opens in London, in the 1880s, with the Barton household on the brink of collapse. Mother, father, and daughter provoke one another, consciously and unconsciously, and a horrifying crisis is triggered. As the family’s tragedy is told several times from different perspectives, events are recast and sympathies shift. In the dark of night, a chilling sexual spectre is making its way through the house, hovering over the sleeping girl and terrorizing her fragile mother. Are these visions real, or is there something more sinister, and more human, to fear? A spiritualist is summoned to cleanse the place of its terrors, but with her arrival the complexities of motive and desire only multiply. The mother’s failing health and the father’s many secrets fuel the growing conflicts, while the daughter flirts dangerously with truth and fantasy.

According to Deadline Jena Malone will play Constance who is Angelica’s mother.
