About this item
"This smartly paced, genre-bending novel is a good choice for the horror-curious thriller reader who enjoyed The Good House by Tananarive Due and Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia." —Booklist, Starred Review
"Cherie Priest is our new queen of darkness, folks. Time to kneel before her, lest she take our heads." —Chuck Wendig, author of The Book of Accidents
Houses fall into the Pacific Ocean all the time, but none have ever come back—until today.
A violent storm washes a mysterious, long-lost house onto a rural beach in the Pacific Northwest, triggering a cascade of terrifying events. The only woman who knows the house’s dark history is heartbroken when her grandson, Simon Culpepper, vanishes in the chaos.
With Simon gone, his childhood friends Melissa and Leo are forced to confront their past and work together to search for him on the isolated Marrowstone Island. Years have passed since they were close, and old rivalries and grudges threaten to undermine their quest.
As they delve into the secrets of the enigmatic house and its sinister builder, Melissa and Leo uncover a malevolent force that threatens not just Simon, but the entire island. Their journey will test their resilience and reveal unsettling truths about the house’s dark origins and the evil trying to return.
From award-winning author Cherie Priest comes a deeply haunting and atmospheric horror-thriller that explores the lengths we'll go to protect those we love and the dark forces lurking just beyond our understanding. 📚❤️
