An old country house haunted by a dark, mysterious presence forces one family to confront their own secrets in this masterpiece of literary horror by the New York Times bestselling author of Wanderers
Nate left his hometown in rural Pennsylvania behind years ago to escape his abusive father and make a new life for himself and his family in Philadelphia. So when his father dies and leaves him their family home, an old stone Colonial in the country, the last thing Nate wants is to return to the place where his only
memories are of pain and loss.
But he can also see that the beautiful old house will give his family a chance to begin again- for Nate to leave the police force behind; for his wife, Maddie, to focus on her art as a sculptor; and for their son, Oliver, to go to a small,
excellent school in the country. But when they return to the house, they find it haunted by more than Nate's
memories. Nate keeps seeing a presence that looks uncannily like his father.
Maddie hears something speaking to her through her sculptures. And Oliver befriends a strange boy with a scarred face and a troubled past who seems to know something about the house's secrets. Because there is something there--something from deep in Nate's past--that threatens to tear this family apart . . . and they will have to come together to survive it.
