Something evil hides within the House of Seven Gables...
Phoebe Pyncheon hasn't had an easy life. Alone and out of work, she does her best to make ends meet while she finishes her debut novel. But when even the monthly rent becomes too much for the struggling young writer to afford, she is forced to move into her Great Aunt Hester's boarding house. Known as the House of Seven Gables, this Victorian mansion is a maze of decrepit halls, musty old furniture, and faded glamour.
At first, Phoebe feels at home in the strange, quirky old house. But soon she senses a presence lurking in the shadows, just out of sight.
She hears it breathing in the darkness, feels its cold touch on her skin at night.
Then the police knock on her door with news of a dead body found nearby. And Phoebe discovers the terrifying truth...
The House of Seven Gables is a temple to an ancient evil, a terrifying power unleashed by Hester and her coven of friends. This dark entity haunts the stones of the old mansion, plotting its revenge upon the living. But a secret power hides within Phoebe as well.
And releasing it may be her only chance to survive the terror that awaits her...

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Lamia (Scavenger Hunt) and Crook's chilly, claustrophobic supernatural thriller puts a contemporary spin on Nathaniel Hawthorne's The House of the Seven Gables. Aspiring fiction writer Phoebe Pyncheon, after getting fired from her job at a suburban Detroit newspaper, decides to moves in temporarily with her great-aunt Hester, her only living relative. Hester works as a psychic from her home, the House of the Seven Gables, a creepy, decrepit house in White Lake, Mich., which Phoebe last visited 15 years earlier. Hester also rents rooms to borders, including Alec Holgrave, an archaeologist visiting from England. As Phoebe reacquaints herself with the house, she senses a strange, unsettling presence more menacing than the spirits she remembered dwelling there as a girl with psychic abilities she now represses. The murder of the local council president, who wanted to appropriate Hester's property, leads Phoebe and Holgrave to dig into her great-aunt's business ties within the community and other mysteries. What they find isn't pleasant. This page-turner will keep readers up late at night. Hawthorne fans should be pleased.
