Publisher's Summary

Audie Award Nominee, Science Fiction, 2013

Padlocked doors. Strange light fixtures. Mutant cockroaches.

There are some odd things about Nate’s new apartment. Of course, he has other things on his mind. He hates his job. He has no money in the bank. No girlfriend. No plans for the future. So while his new home isn’t perfect, it’s livable. The rent is low, the property managers are friendly, and the odd little mysteries don’t nag at him too much. At least, not until he meets Mandy, his neighbor across the hall, and notices something unusual about her apartment. And Xela’s apartment. And Tim’s. And Veek’s. Because every room in this old Los Angeles brownstone has a mystery or two. Mysteries that stretch back over a hundred years. Some of them are in plain sight. Some are behind locked doors. And all together these mysteries could mean the end of Nate and his friends. Or the end of everything....

Excellent Story

I couldn't get enough of this novel. It was really interesting. I loved how it integrated real life history/people in to the storyline to make the story more believable.
If you like conspiracy theory fiction, then you just might like this. It's great FUN.

HOLY SH***********

I'm a huge fan of HP Lovecrafts work (excluding the racism) and this was exactly what I was looking for, this book was a rollercoaster of bizarre twists and turns and God damn it if it ain't the best thing I've listened to on audible!
if your a fan of horror its a must listin, I wouldn't say it is super scary but trust me it is still absolutely worth it.

Refreshing to listen to a brilliantly written original concept

I loved this, so much I’m now looking for the authors other works. This story is so different to what I normally listen to, it was a pleasant surprise to me that I enjoyed it as much as I did. A bit of realistic fantasy with historical people entwined made this listen even more interesting.
