Publisher Description
The terrifying bestseller from the author of House of Reckoning
The children were waiting.
Waiting for centuries.
Waiting for someone to hear their cries.
Now nine-year-old Christine Lyons has come to live in the house on the hill—the house where no children have lived for fifty years.
Now little Christie will sleep in the old-fashioned nursery on the third floor. Now Christie's terror will begin.
A sound was coming to her. Her mind began to drift . . .
Usually it came to her at night, when the wind was blowing. But today it was bright and clear; the wind was still.
And yet the sound was there. A baby, crying out for its mother.
Instinctively Diana knelt next to Christie and took the child in her arms. “It's all right,” she whispered. “Everything's going to be all right.”
Perplexed, Christie looked into Diana's eyes. “I am all right, Aunt Diana. Really, I am,” Christie insisted.
“But you were crying. I heard you. Good girls never cry. Only bad children cry. They cry. And cry. And then they must be punished. . . .”
Customer Reviews
Great!
I couldn’t stop reading. I read the whole thing in one sitting. It’s not a detective story. It’s not a romance. It’s not zombies, vampires or monster’s. It’s strictly a suspense novel, and exactly what I was looking for in a sea of the same old thing. Definitely worth a read on a cold or rainy day.
Sincerely Haunting
I've always been a fan of Mr. Saul. The way he writes, so eloquent, just descriptive enough, never obviously in-your-face terror. This book is probably his most haunting, incredibly thought provoking, and perfectly wrapped up. It leaves me speechless, and as I write this, I am marvelled at his mind, how it works, how he so seamlessly weaves his stories. This one book I am so glad I have in my library.
