“Every house has a story to tell and a secret to share.” 

It doesn’t take long to figure out that “Home Before Dark” by Riley Sager is a classic haunted house story. As you read further, you soon realize that it’s so much than that. Spanning 25 years of pain and sorrow, Maggie Holt, the protagonist, returns home to Baneberry Hall, seeking out the truth to why she and her family fled in the middle of the night, vowing never to return again. Discoveries are made… Horrific, terrifying discoveries. A riveting page turner, “Home Before Dark” will have you locking your doors and keeping your lights on while devouring the words contained on it’s pages.
