Description

This chilling novel from the bestselling, award-winning author of The Lake of Dead Languages blends the gothic allure of Daphne DuMauriers Rebecca and the crazed undertones of Charlotte Perkins Gilmans The Yellow Wallpaper with the twisty, contemporary edge of A.S.A. Harrisons The Silent Wife--a harrowing tale of psychological suspense set in New Yorks Hudson Valley. When Jess and Clare Martin move from Williamsburg, Brooklyn, to their former college town in the Hudson River valley, they are hoping for rejuvenation--of their marriage, their savings, and Jesss writing career. They take a caretakers job at Riven House, a crumbling estate and the home of their old college writing professor. While Clare once had dreams of being a writer, those plans fell by the wayside when Jess made a big, splashy literary debut in their twenties. Its been years, now, since his first novel. The advance has long been spent. Clares hope is that the pastoral beauty and nostalgia of the Hudson Valley will offer some inspiration. But their new life isnt all quaint town libraries and fragrant apple orchards. There is a haunting pall that hangs over Riven House like a funeral veil. Something is just not right. Soon, Clare begins to hear babies crying at night, see strange figures in fog at the edge of their property. Diving into the history of the area, she realizes that Riven House has a dark and anguished past. And whatever this thing is--this menacing force that destroys the inhabitants of the estate--it seems to be after Clare next...
