Beneath the Stairs

內容簡介

內容簡介 在寧靜的桑莫那丘上，一座巨大豪華的宅院─奧克塔根之屋在樹林間屹立，少有人敢經過此處，畢竟，這裡曾發生駭人聽聞的謀殺案，一個丈夫殺害自己的妻子與兩個女兒。如此聳動的悲劇新聞，隨著大眾對此事閉口不談，也逐漸在紐約的上城區消失，直到一個夏天，14歲的克萊兒和艾比決定要去這個鬧鬼宅院探險，但克萊兒平安出來，艾比的某一部分卻永遠遺失在內。20年過去，克萊兒聽聞艾比在奧克塔根之屋自殺，急救後陷入昏迷，克萊兒明白必須為過去的黑暗記憶負責，於是她回到桑莫那丘，獨自面對那座陰森詭譎的大宅，與其所隱藏的恐怖秘密...In this spine-tingling, atmospheric “nail-biter of a novel” (Shelf Awareness), a woman returns to her hometown after her childhood friend attempts suicide at an alleged haunted house—the same place where a traumatic incident shattered their lives twenty years ago.Few in sleepy Sumner’s Mills have stumbled across the Octagon House hidden deep in the woods. Even fewer are brave enough to trespass. A man had killed his wife and two young daughters there, a shocking, gruesome crime that the sleepy upstate New York town tried to bury. One summer night, an emboldened fourteen-year-old Clare and her best friend, Abby, ventured into the Octagon House. Clare came out, but a piece of Abby never did.Twenty years later, Clare receives word that Abby has attempted suicide at the Octagon House and now lies in a coma. With little to lose, Clare returns to her roots to uncover the darkness responsible for ruining their lives.A “spellbinding horror story, where the terror comes not from ghosts, but from the haunted places we find within ourselves” (Elizabeth Brundage, author of The Vanishing Point), Beneath the Stairs is perfect for fans of Jennifer McMahon, Simone St. James, and Chris Bohjalian."
