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. Not one has ever come back—until today.
A violent storm washes a mysterious house onto a rural Pacific Northwest beach, capturing the heart of the only woman who knows its dark secrets. As the storm subsides, her grandson, Simon Culpepper, disappears, leaving behind a bewildered community and a trail of unanswered questions.
Decades later, Simon’s childhood friends, Melissa and Leo, are drawn back to Marrowstone Island to uncover the truth. Though their relationship has long been strained, they must set aside old rivalries and grudges to search for Simon and understand the sinister house that has resurfaced.
As they delve into the island’s mysteries, they encounter the malevolent forces tied to the house and its creator. The search for Simon leads them to dark revelations about the man who built the house and the evil he’s attempting to resurrect.
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, weaving a tale of old fears and long-buried secrets on a secluded island plagued by malevolent forces.
