โ Scribed by Saul, John
No coin nor oath required. For personal study only.
For more than three decades John Saul has haunted the New York Times bestseller listโand readersโ imaginationsโwith his chilling tales of psychological suspense and supernatural horror. His instinct for striking the deepest chords of fear in our hearts and minds is unerring, and his gift for steering a tale from the light of day into the darkest depths of nightmare is at its harrowing best in House of Reckoning.
After the untimely death of her mother, fourteen-year-old Sarah Crane is forced to grow up quickly in order to help tend her familyโs Vermont farm and look after her grieving father, whoโs drowning his sorrow in alcohol. But their quiet life together is shattered when her father is jailed for killing another man in a barroom brawl and injuring Sarah in a drunken car crash. Left in the cold care of a loveless foster family and alienated at school, Sarah finds a kindred spirit in classmate Nick Dunnigan, a former mental patient still plagued by voices and visions. And in eccentric art instructor Bettina Phillips, Sarah finds a mentor eager to nurture her talent for painting.
But within the walls of Bettinaโs ancestral home, the mansion called Shutters, Sarah finds something altogether different and disturbing. Monstrous images from the houseโs dark history seem to flow unbidden from Sarahโs paintbrushโimages echoed by Nickโs chilling hallucinations. Trapped for ages in the shadowy rooms of Shutters, the violence and fury of long-dead generations have finally found a gateway from the grave into the world of the living. And Sarah and Nick have found a power they never had: to take control, and take revenge.
