Over dit e-boek
A “spectacular modern haunted-house story . . . The concept of home salvage disturbing ghosts is brilliant”—from the acclaimed author of The Drowning House (Publishers Weekly, starred review).
Music City Salvage is owned and operated by Chuck Dutton: master stripper of doomed historic properties and expert seller of all things old and crusty. Business is lean and times are tight, so he’s thrilled when the aged and esteemed Augusta Withrow appears in his office. She has a massive family estate to unload—lock, stock, and barrel. For a check and a handshake, it’s all his.
It’s a big check. It’s a firm handshake. And it’s enough of a gold mine that he assigns his daughter Dahlia to personally oversee the project.
Dahlia and a small crew caravan down to Chattanooga, Tennessee, where the ancient Withrow house is waiting—and so is a barn, a carriage house, and a small, overgrown cemetery that Augusta Withrow left out of the paperwork.
Augusta Withrow left out a lot of things.
The property is in unusually great shape for a condemned building. It’s empty, but Dahlia and the crew quickly learn it is far from abandoned. There is still something in the Withrow mansion, something angry and lost, and this is its last chance to raise hell before the house is gone forever.
“Priest has created an irresistible mix of horror and home improvement . . . genuinely scary horror action.” —Library Journal (starred review)
“Wonderful . . . If you want a creepy, good read, I highly recommend The Family Plot.” —Knoxville News Sentinel
