In
the latest thriller from New York Times bestseller Riley Sager, a woman returns
to the house made famous by her father’s bestselling horror memoir. Is the
place really haunted by evil forces, as her father claimed? Or are there more
earthbound—and dangerous—secrets hidden within its walls?
What was it like? Living in
that house.
Maggie Holt is used to such
questions. Twenty-five years ago, she and her parents, Ewan and Jess, moved
into Baneberry Hall, a rambling Victorian estate in the Vermont woods. They
spent three weeks there before fleeing in the dead of night, an ordeal Ewan
later recounted in a nonfiction book called House of Horrors. His tale of
ghostly happenings and encounters with malevolent spirits became a worldwide
phenomenon, rivaling The Amityville Horror in popularity—and skepticism.
Today, Maggie is a restorer of
old homes and too young to remember any of the events mentioned in her father's
book. But she also doesn’t believe a word of it. Ghosts, after all, don’t
exist. When Maggie inherits Baneberry Hall after her father's death, she
returns to renovate the place to prepare it for sale. But her homecoming is
anything but warm. People from the past, chronicled in House of Horrors, lurk
in the shadows. And locals aren’t thrilled that their small town has been made
infamous thanks to Maggie’s father. Even more unnerving is Baneberry Hall
itself—a place filled with relics from another era that hint at a history of
dark deeds. As Maggie experiences strange occurrences straight out of her
father’s book, she starts to believe that what he wrote was more fact than
fiction.
Alternating between Maggie’s
uneasy homecoming and chapters from her father’s book, Home Before Dark is the
story of a house with long-buried secrets and a woman’s quest to uncover
them—even if the truth is far more terrifying than any haunting.
