Book description
James Hastings seems to have it all - a good career, a big house, a
glamorous life on the fringes of Hollywood celebrity. But when his wife
Stacey dies in a horrific car crash, James suddenly finds himself alone
in their sprawling mansion. Feeding on James's grief and isolation, the
house draws close around him, haunting his nights with terror and guilt,
and over the course of the following months it becomes increasingly
clear that something - or someone - in the house doesn't want James to
move on. His emerging friendship with the beautiful Annette Copeland,
recently moved into the house next door, offers some comfort. But
Annette is fighting demons of her own and as she draws James into a
claustrophobic spiral of violence, possession and psychological terror,
James finally sees the true face of the evil that has brought them
together… Christopher Ransom was born and studied in Colorado, but
moved to New York and then LA with his wife to pursue various careers
such as selling ads for media magazines and screenwriting. They then
bought a 140-year-old birthing house in Wisconsin, where he wrote his
first novel.
