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.Īlternating between Maggie’s uneasy homecoming and chapters from her father’s book, HOME BEFORE DARK is the story of a house with long-buried secrets and a woman’s quest to uncover them-even if the truth is far more terrifying than any haunting. Even more unnerving is Baneberry Hall itself-a place filled with relics from another era that hint at a history of dark deeds. And locals aren’t thrilled that their small town has been made infamous thanks to Maggie’s father. People from the past, chronicled in House of Horrors, lurk in the shadows. I loved, loved, loved this story with my whole heart and soul. When Maggie inherits Baneberry Hall after her father’s death, she returns to renovate the place to prepare it for sale. My favorite book of 2020 In my opinion, Home Before Dark is Sagers best work yet Also, I do acknowledge that I have now fully exceeded my lifetime use of the exclamation point, but I assure you, in this case it is warranted. But she also doesn’t believe a word of it. Today, Maggie is a restorer of old homes and too young to remember any of the events mentioned in her father’s book. His tale of ghostly happenings and encounters with malevolent spirits became a worldwide phenomenon, rivaling The Amityville Horror in popularity-and skepticism. 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. Twenty-five years ago, she and her parents, Ewan and Jess, moved into Baneberry Hall, a rambling Victorian estate in the Vermont woods.
