Publisher's summary

Pain, horror, fear - these are the things that have comprised best-selling novelist Lance Metzger's life. His childhood remains a riddled wasteland of abuse by a sadistic father and abandonment by an apathetic mother. In turn his only refuge became his writing.

When Lance loses his ability to write and becomes haunted by a nightmare that he'd thought was buried, he is drawn inexplicably to a house on the shores of Lake Superior, where he finds his muse once again - but something is waiting for him when he arrives. Now he must unlock the devastating secrets that the house holds and uncover the mystery of his own broken past before he loses his sanity - and perhaps his soul.

Great book!

This book kept my attention the entire time. At first, it was hard to see where it was going, but everything came together and it wasn't at all obvious. The story was well written and creepy, in a good way. The narrator did a very good job and I found his tone very easy to follow. I truly recommend this one! It's a great ghost story that will keep you wanting more.

Very Good

I honestly was not expecting to like this book as much as I did, but wow, the characters just drug me in and closed the door. A spooky and interesting story that kept pulling me back. Reminded me a bit of the old Stephen King.

great story once you get used to the narration

I really enjoyed this ghost story, it took me a bit to get over the cadence of the narration but it was worth it. Love the descriptive writing and characters.
Looking forward to checking out more books my this writer.

Worth the time

I have over six hundred audible books in my library, and this story is one of my top 5. There are very few of these stories that make me want to turn on a light when I listen to it in the dark…….

Gory Page Turner

This book will make you want to throw up…but you won’t be able to put it down either!! There are some rough parts and should definitely come with a trigger warning at the beginning but i loved it.

Gory. Bloody. Gruesome. Read with caution…but read it!

I really struggled to get threw the intense child and domestic abuse, but I made it and it turned out to be a entertaining listen.
