Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Some houses rot.This one remembers.At the end of Black Mill Road stands a house everyone avoids-and for good reason. Long abandoned, half-swallowed by the woods, it has watched generations pass without ever loosening its grip on the secrets buried beneath its floorboards.When the past begins to surface, it does so slowly. Relentlessly. What starts as unease becomes obsession, and what should have stayed hidden refuses to remain silent.The house does not scream.It waits.The Wilson family came to Black Mill Road looking for a fresh start.Jess sees the old farmhouse outside Millville as a second chance-a place where his family can leave Florida and its troubles behind. Abby hopes the quiet will give them room to heal. Twelve-year-old Jake is ready for an adventure.Seventeen-year-old Megan knows better.A new house won't erase what happened. A few acres of Indiana farmland won't repair a family already coming apart at the seams. And from the moment they arrive, something about the place feels wrong.The cold spot in the living room.Footsteps on an empty staircase.Shadows where no one is standing.And the abandoned mill at the edge of the property-a place the locals would rather forget.As Abby begins digging into the history of Black Mill Road, she discovers that the Wilsons aren't the first family to believe they could make a home there. Others came before them.Others heard the footsteps.Others watched the people they loved begin to change.And some of them never made it out.Now the house is turning the Wilsons against one another, exploiting every secret, resentment, and fracture they brought with them. To survive, they will have to uncover what happened on Black Mill Road before the same darkness that destroyed the families before them tears theirs apart.Because some houses are haunted by the dead.This one is waiting for the living.Some secrets are better left buried.
