About this listen

A haunting horror novel for fans of Josh Malerman and Jennifer McMahon—about two women, centuries apart, bound by the same dark secret, from Jacquie Walters, author of Dearest and "a talent to watch" (Sarah Langan).

The Devil enters through doors left open…

On the isolated Eastern Shore of Virginia, Edith is a healer, a woman of knowledge—and a woman watched. Shadows move where they shouldn't. Whispers creep through the dark. Terrified that she has opened her home to the Devil, Edith makes a desperate choice. One that will echo through centuries.

Claire doesn’t believe in ghosts—until she returns home to care for her dying father and finds her childhood house… listening. As one sleepless night bleeds into the next, she becomes convinced something is stirring beneath the floorboards. Something that has waited a long time.

Both women are plagued by visions. Waking with inexplicable injuries. Losing trust in their own minds. And both come to the same chilling conclusion: Something is in the house. As the danger mounts, Edith and Claire discover they'll need each other to survive.

The only problem? They’re separated by four hundred years. And time is running out for them both.
