Small towns across Italy are being abandoned for the coast or cities and, to boost population the homes are being offered for one euro to anyone in the world willing to stay for five years and remodel their new home. Kate and Tommy are full of optimism and excitement moving into their new home close to his only living relatives. But soon the strange sounds, whispers from the townspeople, and the fear on his Nonna's face when she learns what house they bought leave them full of dread. When they find out who owned the place before and what the secret annex behind a locked door was used for the may not make it out alive!
Christopher Golden has become a go to author for me when I want a truly creepy horror novel. Although not as great as The Road of Bones, I still enjoyed this book for the beautiful and unique setting in Italy, the haunted old house, and the terrifying catacombs. The story from the start gave me the shivers, but it wasn't until the last 30% or so that the true horror came out.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advance copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
