THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER “A haunted house story—with a twist . . . [Sager] does not hold back” (Rolling Stone) in this chilling thriller from the author of With a Vengeance and The Only One Left. Every house has a story to tell and a secret to share. Twenty-five years ago, Maggie Holt and her parents moved into Baneberry Hall, a rambling Victorian estate in the Vermont woods. Three weeks later they fled in the dead of night, an ordeal her father recounted in a memoir called House of Horrors. His story of supernatural happenings and malevolent spirits became a worldwide phenomenon, rivaling The Amityville Horror in popularity—and skepticism. Maggie was too young to remember any of the horrific events that supposedly took place, and as an adult she doesn’t believe a word of her father’s claims. Ghosts, after all, don’t exist. When she inherits Baneberry Hall after his death and returns to renovate the place and sell it, her homecoming is anything but warm. The locals aren’t thrilled that their small town has been made infamous, and human characters with starring roles in House of Horrors are waiting in the shadows. Even more unnerving is Baneberry Hall itself—a place where unsettling whispers of the past lurk around every corner. And as Maggie starts to experience strange occurrences ripped from the pages of her father’s book, the truth she uncovers about the house’s dark history will challenge everything she believes.

Rezension von MichelleAnfangs etwas langwierig, aber nach einer Weile hielt sich der Spannungsbogen konstant und ich war sehr gefesselt. Das Setting war schon sehr Basic Horrorfilm mäßig - ich fand es aber dennoch sehr spannend. Meine Vermutungen konnten sich nicht bestätigen. Die Wendungen und Twists hätten aber gern schon etwas früher kommen können 🤭 Das Buch gehört aber auf jeden Fall zu meinen Liebsten von Riley Sager! Und passt perfekt in den Oktober 👻
