A chilling mix of haunted house horror and psychological thriller, Home Before Dark by Riley Sager is an eerie, unputdownable read. Twenty-five years ago, Maggie Holt’s parents fled Baneberry Hall in the dead of night, claiming it was haunted. Her father turned their experience into House of Horrors, a bestselling memoir filled with ghostly encounters. But Maggie doesn’t remember any of it—and she certainly doesn’t believe in ghosts. When she inherits Baneberry Hall after her father’s passing, she decides to return, determined to restore and sell it. However, as she unravels the truth, strange occurrences start to mirror the events in House of Horrors, making her question whether her father’s book was fiction or reality. Told through alternating timelines, this atmospheric thriller keeps readers guessing until the very end. While the final twist felt slightly over the top, the spine-tingling suspense and gothic setting make this a must-read for horror and mystery fans.
