Home Before Dark

Home Before Dark

Riley Sager

What was it like? Living in that house. Maggie Holt is used to such questions. Twenty-five years ago, she and her parents, Ewan and Jess, moved into Baneberry Hall, a rambling Victorian estate in the Vermont woods. They spent three weeks there before fleeing in the dead of night, an ordeal Ewan later recounted in a nonfiction book called House of Horrors. His tale of ghostly happenings and encounters with malevolent spirits became a worldwide phenomenon, rivaling The Amityville Horror in popularity—and skepticism. Today, Maggie is a restorer of old homes and too young to remember any of the events mentioned in her father’s book. But she also doesn’t believe a word of it. Ghosts, after all, don’t exist. When Maggie inherits Baneberry Hall after her father’s death, she returns to renovate the place to prepare it for sale. But her homecoming is anything but warm. People from the past, chronicled in House of Horrors, lurk in the shadows. And locals aren’t thrilled that their small town has been made infamous thanks to Maggie’s father. Even more unnerving is Baneberry Hall itself—a place filled with relics from another era that hint at a history of dark deeds. As Maggie experiences strange occurrences straight out of her father’s book, she starts to believe that what he wrote was more fact than fiction. In the latest thriller from New York Times bestseller Riley Sager, a woman returns to the house made famous by her father’s bestselling horror memoir. Is the place really haunted by evil forces, as her father claimed? Or are there more earthbound—and dangerous—secrets hidden within its walls?

    Absolutely atrocious cast of people behaving abhorrently to each other all the way through and gossiping about it to each other. Isolation, inbreeding, tantrums, physical and psychological abuse, toxic codependency, malignancy, hatred, violent outbursts... what a thoroughly unpleasant group of people, and thus unpleasant time reading.

    That this book keeps being hailed as one of the greatest love stories ever told, and adapted as romantic aspirations, would be laughable if it wasn't so damn insulting.

  • Post Limit?

    Hello. I am not really sure if this goes on here, if it doesn't, do let me know, please! And if you could direct me towards the correct area, I would appreciate it.

    I have started getting more consistent with reading, instead of taking entire weeks to read 1 book, therefore I am gonna be more active on the book forums. And I have noticed for the first time yesterday, that there is a limit of posts we can make in 24 hours? I don't know if this is a new feature? If we can surpass it by contributing to the site/app, or I was just not aware of it due to not participating as much...

    But it very annoying and disruptive. Especially when a book is specifically engaging, and I am trying to read it in 1 or 2 days, I am bound to make more than 5 posts... And I think it can get quite confusing for both the person sharing their thoughts and the people reading them when I have to compile opinions from different pages into 1 single post... I think that defeats the entire purpose of a feature like that?

    And if I don't wanna compile everything together, because it ends up being messy and confusing, I have to basically keep my thoughts and not write at all. And I enjoy writing what I think as I read along, and I love seeing what everyone else thinks while reading along.

    I am not going to lie, but that is the main feature I even use this app for. That's what makes this place unique for me. So the limit makes no sense.

    I understand there can't be infinite posts for 1 book in such a short span of time, because people could spam to infinity and beyond, but 5 is just not enough?

    I guess, I would to ask if there is any possibility into bringing the limit number a bit higher? Like, at least 10? 15? I think that gives us all a better chance of giving our thoughts on important bits and pieces we read without being too overwhelming. Cuz, again, 5 works maybe if you only read some pages per day, but if you read an entire book in 1 or 2 days, you can't fully express your thoughts.

    I don't know if anyone agrees with me. I would love to know everyone's opinion, though. And sorry for rambling so much lol. I just feel stuck, like do I stop reading until tomorrow, or do I read and just not share what I think on here?

    ". . . It's a terrible thing, insomnia. I'm never more grateful for this garden than on nights like this."

    I wish I had a garden to go to when my insomnia is kicking my behind. I feel like it would be quite calming and help a lot.
