About the Book:

Five strangers from across America are about to open the door to an unspeakable evil…

They share a dark bond. A haunted childhood. A shocking secret. A memory of the houses they lived in—each one eerily identical to the next. From the remote foothills of the west to the green lawns of suburbia, they are returning—to the past, to the unspeakable events they long to forget…to the house.

Now, their journeys are about to converge in a terrifying challenge to confront their nightmares—or be trapped inside them forever….
