THEY SEARCHED FOR THE HOUSE OF THEIR DREAMS. INSTEAD THEY FOUND A WORLD OF NIGHTMARES.

There was something about the small house in the Indiana woods that wasn't quite right. At first Cathy Ballard thought it was the size. But she and her husband were soon to learn it was something beyond earthly dimensions. Like the bulging doors...the taunting voices...the heart-wrenching vision of a hollow-eyed, spectral boy...the rapacious monsters in human form. The house was haunted by angry, restless ghosts—both the victims and the perpetrators of past, unspeakable acts.

Cathy, a young college instructor eager for a new life, and Mitch, her husband, have signed up for an advanced course in terror: a terror that will lure Mitch past the gate that separates the known from the unknowable, to a place where Cathy can't follow. Until, driven by desperation, Cathy and Mitch discover the darkly hidden, psychic bond that will guide them together through life...beyond death...to confront the paralyzing face of evil itself.
