" A] superior example of horror fiction ... a vision out of hell
... an original and awesome adventure that should be read in broad
daylight, when one is not alone." - "Publishers Weekly"
"It takes no special critical powers to recognize in Cady an
exceptional writer, who is not just promising but has already
achieved some remarkable feats." - Joyce Carol Oates
" A] haunted house story ... intelligently written both in terms
of concept and style ... Cady develops his horrors with subtlety."
- "Encyclopedia of Fantasy and Horror Fiction"
Years earlier, John Tracker fled the insanity of his family and
their house, a centuries-old monstrosity that his grandfather
Theophilus rigged full of hallucinatory tricks and vicious death
traps designed to capture the Devil. Now middle-aged, John receives
word that the place is to be demolished to make way for a freeway,
and he decides to revisit it with his girlfriend Amy Griffith
before its destruction. But when a blizzard traps them inside the
house, they will be forced to contend with the dangers hidden
within: strange time-shifts, murderous traps, and something evil
that stalks the halls in the form of John's grandmother Vera. As
the terror mounts, John and Amy will make the horrifying discovery
that Theophilus's mad ambition to trap the Devil may have succeeded
only too well ...
