The Abandoned

A dark, isolated mansion unleashes its horrors in this heart-pounding novel of supernatural terror from New York Times bestselling author Douglas Clegg. The village of Watch Point falls prey to the ghostly reach of Harrow, turning child against mother, friend against friend — and drawing a group of strangers to the nightmarish corridors of the most haunted house in the world.

The Horror of the Damned…

The toxic waste of spirits and the occult trapped inside the abandoned house has begun leaking like its poison into the village itself. A teenage girl sleeps too much, but when she awakens her nightmares break loose. A little boy encounters the ultimate fear when the house calls to him. A young woman must face unspeakable terror to keep Harrow from destroying everything she loves.

And somewhere within the house, a demented child waits with teeth like knives.
