對八歲的貝拉來說，家人就是她的全世界。有媽媽、爸爸跟魯斯奶奶。但還有「另一個媽媽」，一個邪惡的存在，每天都問她：「我能進入你的心裡嗎？」

當家中發生的恐怖事件預示著「另一個媽媽」對重複詢問貝拉感到厭倦時，貝拉明白，除非她答應，否則她的家人很快就會付出代價。

「另一個媽媽」變得越來越不安分、越來越強大、越來越大膽。只有家庭的紐帶能保護貝拉安全，但其他事件卻顯示出她父母婚姻中的裂痕。貝拉所依賴的安全感即將崩解。

但「另一個媽媽」需要一個答案。

《家中的那些事》是一部令人毛骨悚然、完全獨特的真實恐怖故事，講述了一個像他們的房子一樣深受困擾的家庭。

To eight-year-old Bela, her family is her world. There’s Mommy, Daddo, and Grandma Ruth. But there is also Other Mommy, a malevolent entity who asks her every day: “Can I go inside your heart?”

When horrifying incidents around the house signal that Other Mommy is growing tired of asking Bela the question over and over, Bela understands that unless she says yes, her family will soon pay.

Other Mommy is getting restless, stronger, bolder. Only the bonds of family can keep Bela safe, but other incidents show cracks in her parents’ marriage. The safety Bela relies on is about to unravel.

But Other Mommy needs an answer.

Incidents Around the House is a chilling, wholly unique tale of true horror about a family as haunted as their home.
