On The Books-Home Sweet Hell!

Creepy neighbours, sounds going bump in the night, eerie sense of someone, or something watching you.

All that and more in these thrillers that take place in mysterious dwellings. 

If you should experience any of these feelings, I might suggest moving.  Or running…

THE OVERNIGHT GUEST – HEATHER GUDENKAUF

True crime writer Wylie doesn’t mind being snowed in at the isolated farmhouse where she’s retreated to write her new book. Cozy fires, picturesque views and calming quiet.  It would be perfect, if not for the fact that decades earlier two people were brutally murdered, and a young girl disappeared without a trace. As the storm worsens, Wylie grows more and more haunted by the secrets within the house’s walls. Chilling in every way!
