Book excerpt: Wickersham Hollow holds the dark secret of a deal made in hell, a deal made on Halloween night in 1697. The secret is kept within a house - a house with a will of its own, a house long empty of living souls - a house with a heart of pure evil. Sequestered within that house, within its walls and hallways, is the memory of a covenant, a pact born of a man's lust for the body and soul a young woman. A pact forged in witchcraft by Torrance Wickersham, the founder of Wickersham Hollow. Now, three hundred years later, led by Tommy Vorland, seven teenagers (Henry Travis, Amy Pritchard, Lucy Darrow, Matt Holloway, Janet Egan and Tina Farley), in search of a Halloween night thrill get more than they bargained for, when they make their way into the old Wickersham house and awaken a malevolence that has lain dormant for centuries. Their nightmare begins when they discover that the house has a malicious mind of its own and Lucy is gruesomely murdered by one of its tricks. Things go from bad to hellish when Tommy is beset by a ghostly apparition that drives him insane, leaving Henry and Amy to take charge and find a way to get everyone out. But escape becomes no more than an elusive shadow when Wickersham's spirit once again roams free and turns his lustful desires toward Amy. Now, trapped in a dungeon at the mercy of Wickersham and the demon incubus he summoned, Henry and Amy must prepare themselves for the unthinkable. But this battle is not yet over, as an unexpected ally rises to turn the tide. The spirit of Mother Cassandra, a voodoo priestess who lost her daughter and her life to Wickersham all those years ago, bestows upon the group a gift and a curse - the ability to read each other's thoughts and summon a power none knew they held within. But all gifts come with a price. And when a dark deal is proffered, Henry accepts and is given a way to lead the group to safety. Their nightmare was over.Or was it? Seventy years later, Henry Travis, now eighty-six, discovers that his granddaughter, Annabel, and her husband, Brian, have purchased and renovated the old Wickersham place. He now knows the time has come to unveil its secrets - and his. He also knows that the time has come to honor the deal he made all those years ago. Somehow he must convince Annabel and Brian to abandon that house before it's too late. When his attempts to dissuade them fail and they take possession of the house, the nightmare begins again, and their only hope for survival depends on the reunion of old friends, and the assistance of a descendant of Torrance Wickersham, the only man who know the secret within the secret, and may just hold the key to ending the nightmare once and for all. The questions are: can they summon the courage to go back into that house; are they strong enough to defeat a festering evil that has three hundred years to grow stronger, and are they prepared to face what just might be their last stand?
