The book reveals the supernatural horrors Maggie’s father Ewan, mother Jess, and 5 year-old Maggie experienced inside their home, Baneberry Hall, a Victorian estate in Vermont. The plot centers around Maggie Holt, a troubled and willful designer and home renovator, whose life is made famous by her father’s book called ‘House of Horrors’. “ Every house has a story to tell” – Riley Sager, Home Before Dark The more famously mentioned ones that I found are: The Haunting of Hill House (TV series/book) and Amityville Horror (book/movie). I went into this novel with an open mind, and tried not to compare it to other similar horror/mystery plot lines, like the synopsis reveals. More negative reviews than what I expected from one of his books. Many 4 and 5 star reviews, but quite a few negative reviews. So when I heard his newest book was being released, reading this one was a must! There were many and mixed reviews online about this book. I wrote reviews for the more recent two around when I first started this blog, and I definitely enjoyed his campy thrillers. I read all three of Sager’s previous novels, Lock Every Door, The Last Time I Lied, and Final Girls. I was excited to finally have the opportunity to read Riley Sager’s fourth and newest release, Home Before Dark.
