About this deal

There are very few authors whose new novels I look forward to with as much anticipation as I do a new Riley Sager novel, and this year’s release is his best yet. HOME BEFORE DARK isan instant classic haunted house story, and a tale that belongs in the company of the horror genre staples that inspired it. A chilling blend of supernatural suspense and compelling family mystery, HOME BEFORE DARK is an iconic new thriller from an author who just gets better and better every year. Readers in the market for a psychological thriller that blends a spine-tingling ghost story with a gripping tale of a woman’s investigation of her own family history will devour Sager’s exceptional new release, HOME BEFORE DARK.

I think Ms. Wiggs was trying to show the lead character as a flawed but likeable person. I just couldn't get past her flaws. Jessie was completely self-absorbed to the point of being clinically narcissistic. But what kept me groaning in pain was the unrealistic scenarios. For example, a man grieving for two years for his dead wife decides within 10 minutes the girl is the one. He is in love. Then there is the troubled and rebellious teen who ends up with PTSD and everyone decides to shake her world with the truth about her parentage but no one....NOT ONE PERSON....suggests counseling. And once the teen hears the unbelievable truth....she shrugs and heads off to some school event. What? Ms. Wiggs did her research on photography, eye diseases, helping centers for the blind and yet completely missed the psychological aspects of her characters. what genre should I put it in? :- the book horribly murdered the idea of being a horror book and that ridiculous end murdered the idea of putting it in mystery .If you are at ALL familiar with The Sound of Music, expect Home Before Dark to make "Sixteen Going on Seventeen" the earworm that just won't quit! a b Hynes, Hayley (January 27, 2020).

With reference to Ossining & the New York suburbs, Susan Cheever comments that in the 1950s, "the suburbs of New York were a homogeneous & extended community held together by common interests: children, sports, adultery & lots of social drinking. It was a time engendered by the winning of the war & destroyed by the upheavals of the 1960s." Bad: the characters are all so one-dimensional, especially the main character. We know/learn virtually nothing about her, even though most of the book is written from her POV. Maggie Holt is used to such questions. Twenty-five years ago, she and her parents, Ewan and Jess, moved into Baneberry Hall, a rambling Victorian estate in the Vermont woods. They spent three weeks there before fleeing in the dead of night, an ordeal Ewan later recounted in a nonfiction book called House of Horrors. His tale of ghostly happenings and encounters with malevolent spirits became a worldwide phenomenon, rivaling The Amityville Horror in popularity—and skepticism.

In Ewan’s book, he claims Miss Pennyface was Indigo’s spirit, but that is a lie. Miss Pennyface turns out to be Martha Carver, who would sneak into Maggie’s room because Maggie reminds her of her daughter Katie. What Maggie thought were coins on her eyes turns out to be the moonlight glinting off her spectacles. I liked the first half, but didn’t feel strongly about it at that point. But about halfway through, things get more complicated. There are discoveries in both the present and the past that shed light — and prompt thorny new questions — about the houses’s haunted and dark history, which possibly involve a number of potential murders.Principal photography for the first season was scheduled to take place from November 12, 2018 to April 15, 2019 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
