January 2009 Debut of the Month.
A good, old-fashioned ghost story which gets bloody as it progresses. A classic plot – couple move to haunted house – which is actually truly creepy and contains some unexpected turns. Not for the fainthearted, but very enjoyable.
Comparison: Joe Hill, Stephen King, Peter Straub.

When Conrad Harrison impulse-buys a big old house in Wisconsin, his wife Jo doesn’t share his enthusiasm, reluctant at the idea of leaving their LA life - so Conrad is left to set up their new home as she ties up loose ends at work. But Conrad’s new purchase is not all that it seems. Soon Conrad is hearing the ghostly wailing of a baby in the night, seeing blood on the floor and being haunted by a woman who looks exactly like Jo. With his wife away, Conrad becomes obsessed by the pregnant girl next door, Nadia, who claims to be a victim of the evil in the house. The crying leads him to a bricked-up body, and the mystery of the Birthing House unravels, pulling in Jo, Nadia and leading Conrad to a nightmarish conclusion…
