Set in Davenport, Maine, Sam Cabot and his wife and son get a great deal on a house in what of course seems like a “too good to be true” situation. And of course they soon find out that it is. Hall does a good job of taking a fairly typical plot and giving it a good twist. He builds it up nicely and then pulls the rug out from under you. Reminded me a bit of some of the novels of T.M. Wright.

“Sure to cause some sleepless nights, this novella packs a powerful punch, for it encompasses the perilous areas of both insanity and the frighteningly supernatural. A great surprise ending; decidedly twisted and shocking. Might have you questioning your own sanity.” —G.L. Giles, http://www.infernaldreams.net

“The storyline of this novella streamed with the intensity of a cross between The Shining and The Amityville Horror. Amazingly, Hall managed to pen a novella that leaves the reader feeling as though they have digested an entire novel. The tight prose and wonderful detail make for a compelling read.” —Red Adept,  http://redadept.wordpress.com

“Mark Edward Hall’s novella is a first rate creep-out, wonderfully scary, with full, well-drawn characters and a strong, descriptive narrative that channels the best of Edgar Allen Poe. Horror fans will love this tale, especially the shocking conclusion, which will leave them questioning the meaning of reality and the sometimes-tenuous border between sanity and madness. Mark Edward Hall is a literary artist, a strong voice in the horror genre.” —Lloyd F. Richey, Stormdragon
