A spine-chilling supernatural thriller about a murder victim who haunts the house where she was killed, and the innocent family she torments.
But are they innocent? Is she?
HOUSE OF DEAD THINGS
Life is pretty quiet in the small town of Frozen Falls, Vermont.
When a beautiful young librarian is found murdered in the basement of a literary genius long past his prime, it is up to Detective Ellie Hornsby to solve the gruesome homicide.
This isn’t the first time Ellie has encountered Professor Truman Ravenhill. He was the prime suspect in another murder case 4 years ago, when the love of his life—his muse—was stabbed and strangled to death in her kitchen. Now the professor has gone missing.
When 38-year-old Harlan Ravenhill and his son Jake inherit Truman’s estate, they decide to renovate the rundown Edwardian house, but as soon as demolition begins, it stirs up something that threatens to destroy them, unless they band together with Detective Ellie Hornsby to solve an unspeakable mystery.
From the award-winning author of ‘Trace of Evil,’ ‘It’s Me Violet’ and the bestselling ‘The Breathtaker’ comes a richly layered ghost story wrapped inside a brutal murder mystery about love and obsession that will keep you riveted through its final, electrifying moments.
For fans of The Woman in Black, The Silent Companions, The Little Stranger, Heart-Shaped Box, Ghost Story, Penpal, Turn of the Screw, The Twisted Ones, Dark Matter (Michelle Paver), The Whistling, Neil Gaiman, Peter Straub, Julia Heaberlin, Ruth Ware, Krysten Ritter, Charlie Donlea and Shirley Jackson.
