When he comes across an ad for a caretaker for the Masson House, Eric hopes they have finally caught a lucky break. The owner of the “most haunted place in Texas” is looking for proof of paranormal activity. All they need to do is stay in the house and keep a detailed record of everything that happens there—provided the house’s horrors don’t drive them all mad, like the caretakers before them.\n\n\n\nThe job calls to Eric, not just because of the huge payout, but because he needs access to the secrets of the spite house. If it is indeed haunted, maybe it will help him understand the uncanny power that clings to his family, driving them from town to town, too afraid to stop running...\n\n\n\nAlso by Johnny Compton:\n\nDevils Kill Devils\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003csmall\u003eProduct image is for illustration purposes only and may not be an exact representation of the product offered for sale.\u003c\/small\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tor Publishing Group, 2024","offers":[{"title":"The Spite House A Novel \/ Very Good","offer_id":67674413990180,"sku":"9781250861665VG","price":9.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/9951\/4148\/files\/9531583482633.jpg?v=1791769759","url":"https:\/\/brookingsbooks.com\/products\/9781250861665","provider":"Brookings Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
