The Abandoned

The haunted mansion called Harrow is alive again -- freed from the straitjacket of wall and floor and roof -- and no one in Watch Point is safe from its deadly whisper! New York Times bestselling and Bram Stoker award-winning author Douglas Clegg embraces nightmarish horror in the 4th book of the Harrow series, which may be the most maniacal horror-fest of a haunted house novel you'll ever read. You've been warned!

The old abandoned mansion of the damned at the edge of town infects the dreams and nightmares of those who sleep with its accrued evil. Children turn against parents, old friends arrive with hatchets in hand -- and only a handful of people are strong enough to resist the seductive whisper of Harrow's haunting.

The Horror of the Damned...

The toxic waste of spirits and the occult trapped inside the abandoned house has begun leaking like its poison into the village itself. A teenage girl sleeps too much, but when she awakens her nightmares break loose. A little boy encounters the ultimate fear when the house calls to him. A young woman must face unspeakable terror to keep Harrow from destroying everything she loves.

And somewhere within the house, a demented child waits with teeth like knives.

"Clegg is the best horror writer of the post-Stephen King generation."- Bentley Little, bestselling author of The Haunted.

"Douglas Clegg has become the new star in horror fiction." - Peter Straub, NY Times bestselling author of The Talisman (with Stephen King) and Ghost Story.
