GOODREADS BLURB: WELCOME TO LAKE HOUSE…
A sprawling Adirondack “great camp” with 160 rooms, each carpeted in evil and painted with human blood.
ENTER IF YOU DARE…
Explore the miles of dark, twisting hallways, reeking with the stench of death. Journey through a bizarre labyrinth into chambers of unearthly proportions, up creaking stairways leading nowhere. But never…never…venture into the black heart of the awesome edifice.
YOU MAY NEVER LEAVE!
For creatures roam the corridors of Lake House. Hideous beings older than civilization — restless, waiting…hungry! Blood-chilling denizens of Hell that emerge only under cover of darkness… “Things” that will haunt your dreams and devour your soul!
