Description
"When madness is your inheritance, how do you escape it? Scott Mast thought he got away-first from a family haunted by a dark fate, then from a dull career writing greeting cards in Seattle. But now he has come back to his New Hampshire hometown only to find that his family is in ruins, his nephew needs a home, and a shattering truth is clawing its way into the light. Fifteen years ago, Scott's mother died in a fire. And now the shadowy circumstances-the bodies buried beneath the ashes, the lives ripped apart that fateful day-are starting to be revealed. The answers unspool in the pages of a peculiar old manuscript-an unfinished ghost story written in his father's own hand that beckons Scott out to a strange house in the woods with a lightless corridor that cannot be seen from the outside. Here Scott Mast will uncover all that has been hidden-and perhaps finish his father's unspeakable work."… (more)
User reviews
Chilling and genuinely creepy, “No Doors, No Windows” is sure to please any horror or ghost story fan. Recommended for those who can’t wait for Joe Hill’s next novel.
If you like haunted house stories, this could be your thing. Schreiber lays on the pathos a little thick, but that doesn't make for any less of an engaging read, and there's nothing too gruesome. (I tend to dislike books that overdo "the grossout.") I read the book in two days—always a good sign for a book in the horror genre.
