About the Book
Just like every other Christmas, eleven-year-old Eric is looking forward to visiting his grandmother during winter break along with his sister and cousins. After he arrives, Eric mistakenly believes that this visit will be just like all the others.
One night when Eric notices his grandmother acting strangely as she emerges out of a secret room she keeps locked in the back of the house, his curiosity about the room ignites. After he enlists the help of his sister and cousins, Eric sets out to unearth the truth behind the secret room and his grandmother’s connection. In their quest to learn more, the children unwittingly open a gate that has been holding back dark spirits for thousands of years, and then realize that the spirits have been using his grandmother to lure children into the shadows. Now it is up to Eric and his companions to try to save his grandmother from being possessed by the spirits, and hopefully more children from meeting a dark fate.
In this horror tale, an eleven-year-old boy, his sister, and cousins set out to discover the dark secrets hidden in a room in the back of his grandmother’s house.
