Reissued with a new introduction by Adam Nevill and including a
Reading Group Guide, House of Windows is a masterpiece haunted
house story by rising star in Horror John Langan. “Think Henry
James and Joyce Carol Oates with just a few paragraphs of Joe
Lansdale…” —Tor.com “John Langan is a writer of superb
literary horror. Both House of Windows and The Fisherman are dark
and unsettling contemporary masterpieces.” —Peter Straub, New
York Times bestselling author For the last few years, Veronica
Croydon has been at the center of scandal, first as the younger
woman for whom her famous professor left his wife, and then as his
apparent widow. When a writer staying at the same vacation home as
Veronica has the chance to hear her story, he jumps at it. What
follows takes him to the dark heart of a father's troubled
relationship with his only son, in a story that stretches from a
college town in the Hudson Valley to the battlefields on
Afghanistan, from post-9/11 America to the height of Victorian
England. It is a story that leads inexorably to the Belvedere
House, the home Veronica shares with her husband, within whose
walls a father's terrible words to his son echo and gain in awful
force. House of Windows is a tense, frightening exploration of a
marriage under strain from forces both psychological and
supernatural, and it is a meditation on the ways loss haunts every
one of us. “House of Windows is a haunted house story of the
highest order.” —Strange Horizons Reading Group Guide Inside
