5.0 out of 5 stars A Walk on the Dark Side May 11, 2013 By Kathy
Stuart Land dabbles in the supernatural in a way that will keep even the most dubious believer riveted. Think 'Twilight Zone' and you'll want to start reading Shadow House this minute.
-----
In 1920’s Massachusetts, the murderer, PJ McAvoy, believes Aaron Molina is responsible for his family’s death, so devotes a lifetime of vengeance against this man— born fifty years later.
SHADOW HOUSE is a supernatural thriller about two men, alive in different times, who share a terrible secret that, through a quirk of fate, saved one, but damned the other. The threads of these seemingly unconnected lives begin interleaving between five-year-old PJ, critically injured when his family dies in a mysterious fire, and contemporary suburban family man, Aaron, when he purchases an antique toolbox at a flea market.
Aaron’s has “visions” into PJ’s tragic past, and learns the carpenter’s life of tragedy. PJ senses Aaron’s interfering presence, and holds him responsible for life's mayhem. To save himself and his family from PJ’s vendetta, Aaron must learn the secret that binds them together and how to master his own innate paranormal abilities. PJ’s plans, however, go far beyond mere revenge, where his own death is not an obstacle, and Aaron’s demise will be but a footnote.
A novel for readers who cuddle the "chill of terror" from Anne Rice and Stephen King, and mystery lovers who tantalize over the who, why, and how aspects of crime and death from Dan Brown and Jonathan Kellerman. An original ghost story thriller.
Genre: Urban Fantasy
