Each chapter with Maggie and the small-town characters she meets along the way is followed by a chapter from Ewan's first-person "House of Horrors" tome 25 years prior, effectively making him our second protagonist.Īnd as Maggie reconstructs both the house and the events of that summer, she must consider: Are the ghosts who might haunt us as dangerous as the secrets kept from us? "Home Before Dark" is no straightforward novel from the Stephen King-approved writer of " Final Girls," " The Last Time I Lied" and " Lock Every Door." Instead, it takes on the form of a book within a book. So, despite her misgivings, Maggie returns to Baneberry Hall to do some digging as she restores the old Vermont estate to sell it and be rid of it and its hold on her life. But what really happened all those years ago? Maggie thinks the story her family told is fake, and that her memories of that summer are slim at best, but neither her mother nor father would ever tell her what happened, nor renounce the contradictory content of the memoir.
