About this ebook

When a young couple tries to resurrect a ramshackle B&B, a terrifying evil is awakened in this “deliciously creepy thriller” (New York Times–bestselling author Kevin O’Brien).

For Jack and Annabel Devlin, inheriting an old bed and breakfast in western Massachusetts seems like a perfect chance to start over. But Annabel’s first impressions of the Blue Boy Inn don’t ease her nerves. Locals whisper about its long history of murders and mysterious disappearances. And everything about the gloomy Victorian draws Annabel back into childhood nightmares . . .

Soon Annabel hears noises within the walls and glimpses something—or things—scurrying in the shadows. The locked attic, the bricked-up fireplace . . . for years they’ve helped keep a ravenous evil at bay. Now Jack and Annabel’s arrival has stirred the house to life again. Debts must be paid, hungers will be satisfied, and one by one, Annabel’s worst fears are about to come true . . .

Ratings and reviews

One star is too generous for this disaster. Stopped reading with 100+ pages left, but scrolled through so I could review. No matter how cheaply you find it, it is not worth your money

I would have rather a ghost story...... Little blue men...... Little too much. I wanted to be scared. But it was still a fun read. Would have liked a hero to have saved her but the author killed everyone. Lol

I thought it was pretty good and the price was right. I was disappointed that Richard got killed but thought Jack deserved what he got.

About the author

William Patterson lives in Boston and Los Angeles and several points in between. A connoisseur of horror films, he especially loves the great made-for-television movies of the 1970s, where the devil always seemed to be lurking around the corner of a college dormitory or a suburban mansion.
