Book excerpt: “Unnerving.” —People “Unsettling...unlocks its mysteries slowly.” —The New York Times Book Review “A dark, twisty, and richly atmospheric exploration of the power of imagination” —Ruth Ware, author of The Woman in Cabin 10 “Beautifully written and told with a watchmaker’s precision” (Stephen King), Mirrorland is a thrilling psychological suspense novel about twin sisters, the man they both love, the house that has always haunted them, and the childhood stories they can’t leave behind. Cat lives in Los Angeles, far from 36 Westeryk Road, the imposing gothic house in Edinburgh where she and her estranged twin sister, El, grew up. As kids, they invented Mirrorland, a dark, imaginary place under the pantry stairs, full of pirates, witches, and clowns. These days, Cat rarely thinks about their childhood home, or the fact that El now lives there with her husband, Ross. But when El mysteriously disappears after going out on her sailboat, Cat is forced to return to 36 Westeryk Road, which hasn’t changed in twenty years. The grand old house is still full of shadowy corners, and at every turn Cat finds herself stumbling on long-held secrets and terrifying ghosts from the past. Because someone—El?—has left Cat clues: a treasure hunt that leads them back to Mirrorland, where the truth lies waiting... A brilliantly crafted story that “feels like the love child of Gillian Flynn and Stephen King” (Greer Hendricks, #1 New York Times bestselling author), Mirrorland is a propulsive, page-turning debut about love, betrayal, revenge—and the price of freedom.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Stories an Old House Can Tell came about as I traveled down the country roads and saw old houses. Imagining the people who lived, worked, and played there, I began thinking it would be fun if our house can tell my family's story. Thus began my journey to have the house we lived in for thirty-eight years remember and describe its thoughts and memories of all the people who lived and played within its walls. As you read, you will laugh and marvel at a house in the woods that thinks and recalls our lives, adventures, and experiences. The book was written mostly for my family to look back at their past and for you, the reader, to enjoy. Writing this book where the house tells stories has been one of my most enjoyable experiences. It has helped each of us realize the virtues of living, playing, and sharing life through good and bad times. As you pass old houses, let your mind wander through their possible stories. Hopefully, as you read, you will use your imagination to recall your family's experiences and think about what stories your house will tell about you and your family. While reading my book, you will discover the many unexpected visitors that made our home their home. There was even someone from the past who frequently surprised the family with visits. Please sit back and enjoy the true and exciting experiences our old house tells in an imaginative way.

Luckily, his knowing Grandpop tells him it’s not quite time to go to bed yet—first, he needs Isaac’s help in putting the house to bed. Quietly and slowly, they move from room to room, turning out lights and pulling down shades, as Grandpop gently explains the nighttime sounds that Isaac finds unfamiliar.

Janet Costa Bates’s tender story and A. G. Ford’s cozy illustrations will have families—and extended families or friends—eager to take a wise Grandpop’s cue and embrace a new nighttime tradition.
