THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • One of USA Today’s Best Books of 2020 “A haunted house story—with a twist….[Sager] does not hold back”(Rolling Stone) in this chilling thriller from the author of Final Girls and Survive the Night.

Every house has a story to tell and a secret to share.

Twenty-five years ago, Maggie Holt and her parents moved into Baneberry Hall, a rambling Victorian estate in the Vermont woods. Three weeks later they fled in the dead of night, an ordeal her father recounted in a memoir called
House of Horrors. His story of supernatural happenings and malevolent spirits became a worldwide phenomenon, rivaling
The Amityville Horror in popularity—and skepticism.

Maggie was too young to remember any of the horrific events that supposedly took place, and as an adult she doesn’t believe a word of her father’s claims. Ghosts, after all, don’t exist. When she inherits Baneberry Hall after his death and returns to renovate the place and sell it, her homecoming is anything but warm. The locals aren’t thrilled that their small town has been made infamous, and human characters with starring roles in
House of Horrors are waiting in the shadows.

Even more unnerving is Baneberry Hall itself—a place where unsettling whispers of the past lurk around every corner. And as Maggie starts to experience strange occurrences ripped from the pages of her father’s book, the truth she uncovers about the house’s dark history will challenge everything she believes.
Review
“A dark, frightening and twisty story that you won’t be able to put down. Read with the lights on!”

—Shari Lapena, New York Times bestselling author of The Couple Next Door

“A cross between Gillian Flynn’s
Dark Places and ghost hunter heir Alexandra Holzer’s autobiography, Sager’s latest is a haunted house story—with a twist. . . . Sager is a master of the twist and the turn, and he does not hold back in his fourth book. Like any good thriller, you have to read to the very last page to find how who did what to whom and why.”

—Rolling Stone

“Sager’s novel is packed with the expected horror-trope-tinged suspense, literary jump-scares, and more than one twist, but its best moments are the quiet ones exploring the history of the house.”

—USA Today

“Something fresh, shot through with shocks of real horror.”

—New York Times Book Review“[A] propulsive thriller . . . There are truly horrifying scenes. . . . Maggie soon learns what we already know: Real life is scarier than ghost stories.”
–Washington Post

“Riley Sager reimagines the classic haunted house tale in
Home Before Dark, a stunning tale that blends genres with the ease of a master painter mixing colors. . . . This is scintillating suspense writing, Sager leaving no stone unturned in crafting a page-turner of rare depth and complexity.”

—The Providence Journal

“This spooky, surreal haunted-house story goes through plenty of twists at the end. . . . Sager has become one of my favorites for gothic stories that scare and make you think.”

—The Parkersburg News & Sentinel

“You might believe in ghosts; you might not. But a story with a ghost inhabiting a creaky old house and haunting its new residents is simply irresistible. At least in the right hands, and Riley Sager’s definitely are the right hands. From the shadowy figures in the woods to the sounds that go bump in the night,
Home Before Dark is certain to creep you out.”

—Bookreporter

“Clever, twisty, and altogether spine-chilling . . . [A] deliciously terrifying story . . .You’ll want to read this one after dark, ideally with the wind whistling in the eaves and a window banging somewhere just out of reach. But keep the light switch handy. You just might need it.”

—Ruth Ware, Book of the Month
“Sager has laid out an exciting story that is hard to put down.”

—New York Journal of Books


Home Before Dark pays homage to
The Amityville Horror and, as in Sager’s other novels, the story blends psychol
