Ebook About 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?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.Book Home Before Dark: A Novel Review :
I love a good haunted house story. And as a skeptic myself, albeit one with a love for supernatural fiction, I also love a story that's about the search for truth behind apparently supernatural events. This book ticks all those boxes, so I dug into it with great eagerness. What I found was a book that kept me thoroughly entertained throughout--I read it in a single day, with only a couple short breaks--but nevertheless had a couple flaws.Let's start with the good stuff. The writing is top quality, and the pacing is definitely on point. The characters are reasonably well-developed, and the dual (past and present) story lines manage to work surprisingly well (though the narrative voice is perhaps a bit too similar between the alternating sections). I particularly like the way the author manages to simultaneously build suspense and keep the reader flip-flopping regarding what actually happened, and the blend of supernatural and skeptical is both intriguing and narratively effective.However, I have two complaints. First, the story starts off feeling a bit too familiar. Family flees haunted house, writes a book, and their adult child returns decades later to find out what really happened. Following numerous real-world scandals involving families' fraudulent claims of supernatural terrors in their homes, this plot has become well-trod. That doesn't mean it can't be effective, but it does mean that, while we might enjoy the same old tropes, if a book really wants to stand out, it needs to bring something new to the table. Early on, it doesn't really look like this book will bring anything new to the table. The first half or so reads like a well told version of the story, but fundamentally the same old story none the less. However, fortunately, though I won't spoil exactly what they are, there are some twists, beginning about halfway through the book, that call the familiar into question and leave the reader guessing and turning the pages right until the ending.The ending itself is a mixed bag, however. Again, I won't spoil anything, but I find myself conflicted between acknowledging that the novel's conclusion certainly does wrap everything up and feeling like some of the revelations, offered in fairly rapid succession in the book's final chapters, while logically sound, still undercut some of the book's tension. I've said many times (in reviews of other books and films, and in other places) that ending a horror novel is a tricky business, because it requires balancing the reader's need for narrative closure against the simple fact that the unknown is scarier than the known. This novel definitely suffers from the same problem. It's not that the ending is entirely unsatisfactory--it actually does a good job of concluding the story--but rather that once the reader has too much information, the story simply isn't all that scary any more.All that having been said, despite my couple of complaints (which I guess can be viewed as one complaint resolving the other), I found this to be an excellent novel on the whole, and I'd recommend it for anyone looking for a good spooky tale. “Twenty-five years ago, my family lived in a house named Baneberry Hall, situated just outside the village of Bartleby, Vermont. We moved in on June 26. We fled in the dead of night on July 15. Twenty days.”Much as was the case with Lock Every Door (though that was a high-profile apartment building ), the house in Home Before Dark is as big of a character as any of its human counterparts. The Book, as Maggie refers to it, is a strong supporting character. However, unlike with Lock Every Door and The Last Time I Lied (another novel I really enjoyed by Riley Sager), I didn’t find this novel nearly as interesting. There are things that go bump in the night, but nothing made me feel particularly on edge. I think part of that is because the reader is set up to not know if the Book is real — that didn’t particularly work for me since the novel alternates between Maggie in the present and the Book’s excerpts (from the perspective of Maggie’s dad) in the past. Why should I care about the passages from the Book if I don’t even know if it’s valid?Around 60% (kindle count), or roughly 230 pages in, my interest did pick up. Though it felt like a long time to wait. I had various theories as to what happened, and I did see a couple things coming. But the end? And the last several chapters leading up to it? I feel like I don’t even know what I read. It all made sense — but in a deeply sad, weird, and disturbing way. One of those stories that left me feeling disoriented; there’s a dizzying effect to the way all of the theories/potential revelations happen within a short period of time.As usual, the author has a good writing style and there are very few grammatical errors and/or typos. I just didn’t like how I felt when the book was complete, so that’s the reason for 2 stars.
