Book excerpt: A chilling ghost story with a twist: the New York Times bestselling author of The Winter People returns to the woods of Vermont to tell the story of a husband and wife who don't simply move into a haunted house--they build one . . . In a quest for a simpler life, Helen and Nate have abandoned the comforts of suburbia to take up residence on forty-four acres of rural land where they will begin the ultimate, aspirational do-it-yourself project: building the house of their dreams. When they discover that this beautiful property has a dark and violent past, Helen, a former history teacher, becomes consumed by the local legend of Hattie Breckenridge, a woman who lived and died there a century ago. With her passion for artifacts, Helen finds special materials to incorporate into the house--a beam from an old schoolroom, bricks from a mill, a mantel from a farmhouse--objects that draw her deeper into the story of Hattie and her descendants, three generations of Breckenridge women, each of whom died suspiciously. As the building project progresses, the house will become a place of menace and unfinished business: a new home, now haunted, that beckons its owners and their neighbors toward unimaginable danger.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cue the Nightmares: True Scary Stories for Midnight Reading... Get Your FREE BONUSES When You Grab This Book! Despite the advent of science and technology that helps us understand the 'how's' and the 'whys' of things, the universe still offers a colossal variety of mysteries that humans are still yet to explore and understand. Having said that, the standard mysteries, those which have perplexed humanity from the very beginning, continue to do so. Strange creatures and things fall, at times slowly, from rather unknown sources; people walk over glowing trenches of hot coals, encounter monsters in mountains and lakes, are subject to strange coincidences, so on and so forth. History has many disturbing episodes that few of us would care to experience ourselves. So many of these stories are sad but true. Sometimes, after such incidents, dark and evil energies remain in these places of horror for decades to come, haunting all that come near. Over the years, I have learnt, read and write about these unexplained mysteries, and one thing I have understood is that the nature of our existence and the world are quite different from that which we learned when we were young. The reality is more large, fascinating and expansive than any rational, scientific or religious view can perhaps accommodate. Remember, explanations are just temporary, going on and off in response to fads and fashions. However, the happenings they are supposed to explain carry on as mysteriously as ever.
