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 remote Pacific Northwest beach, shocking the only woman who knows its dark past. When her grandson, Simon Culpepper, vanishes in the aftermath, childhood friends Melissa and Leo are drawn back to Marrowstone Island to search for him. It has been decades since they were close, if they ever were, but old rivalries and grudges must be set aside.
As they comb the isolated island for answers, Melissa and Leo uncover disturbing truths about the sinister house and its creator. The house’s return heralds a malevolent force that threatens to engulf the island in darkness. The friends must unravel the mystery behind the house and confront the evil it brings back, all while grappling with their own buried emotions and fractured past.
From award-winning author Cherie Priest comes a deeply haunting and atmospheric horror-thriller that delves into the lengths we'll go to protect those we love, and the darkness that lies within us all. ❤️📚❤️
