So much of this year has...what's a polite way of putting it?... stunk that I feel giving away autographed books is a good way of brightening things up a bit. I know that opening the mailbox and finding a book always puts a smile on my face. How about you?
This time I'm giving away an autographed copy of Riley Sager's Home Before Dark, courtesy of my favorite bookstore, The Poisoned Pen. Here's my review of the book if you'd like to get an opinion, and here's a synopsis of the book itself.
"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."
