Description

Bentley Little can approach any traditional theme from an unexpected angle—even one that seems to have long become a cliché. Here he does it brilliantly with motifs of “the bad house” and “poltergeists,” giving a classic story a fresh—and gut-wrenching—sound.

Julian and Clare Perry, along with their children James and Megan, have finally moved into a new beautiful home in the historic center of the city, leaving their previous troubled neighborhood in the past. But for some reason, the neighbors don’t want to come visit them, and on housewarming day, something shows up—something that makes people leave even without saying goodbye. Claire seems to be going mad, seeing faces in the toilet bowl. Megan is afraid of her own room and the phone that keeps receiving obscene messages. And James has nothing but nightmares. And it’s no surprise—after what he saw in the basement…

Maybe the old neighborhood wasn’t so bad. It’s just that it’s already too late to change anything. “Bentley Little — winner of the ‘horror’ poetry award.”
