Description

Alone and isolated on a windswept moor, the centuries' old building had seen its fair share of owners and more than its quota of dark legends when Lynn Schofield and her husband visited their friends there. From the moment they cross the threshold, it's clear there is something very wrong here. Behind the walls is a house unlike any other and the horrors it has witnessed are embedded in its very fabric, ready and waiting for the next victim. Decades later, another couple own the now ruinous house. For Diana, her initial reluctance to move in soon takes a leap forward when she sees something that shouldn't be there. But as major renovations proceed—and the library starts to reveal its secrets—her mounting fears prove to be only the beginning of her nightmare.
