From the Inside Flap
A superbly evocative ghost story that continues to haunt long after it is finished.
Maggi has noticed something very unsettling about the old house into which her family has just moved, and which her widowed father is renovating. She gradually realizes that the house wields a dark and terrifying power, luring people in to help protect and preserve it. In fear, Maggi tries to get her family away but the house isn?t willing to let them go.
