Ive only dared to read it in the daylight.Kaly Soto, Deputy Weekend Editor, theNew York Times Book Review

When best-selling horror author Sam McGarver is invited to spend Halloween night in one of the countrys most infamous haunted houses, he reluctantly agrees. At least he wont be alone; joining him are three other masters of the macabre, writers who have helped shape modern horror. But what begins as a simple publicity stunt will become a fight for survival. The entity they have awakened will follow them, torment them, threatening to make them a part of the bloody legacy of Kill Creek.The American Library Association'sHorror Book of 2017

A menacing and cinematic story that evolves into a bloody, action-driven terrorfest. It is also a thought-provoking and enjoyable look at the genre itself... A match for readers who enjoyed Shirley Jackson'sThe Haunting of Hill House. Booklist(starred review)
