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: If you’re thinking about it, get this book now! - I devoured this within one weekend, it’s so good. This is my second Riley Sager book, the first was Only One Left. I won’t review that one here but I cannot recommend it enough. If you haven’t read that yet, go read it! But don’t forget about this one! Riley Sager is very talented at writing winding, twisting narratives that keep you guessing. I’m usually really good at predicting what “plot twist” is coming my way in a book or show/film. But each Riley Sager story I’ve read has always taken me for a ride on the edge of my seat, and left me floored by the end. I scare very easily and at times I’d have to put the book down for a few minutes to shake off the goosebumps. But I was too captivated to walk away for long. This book was so fun to read and a perfect spooky read for a snowed in (or rainy!) weekend. Read it! Review: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ | Home Before Dark – Riley Sager - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great atmosphere and a unique twist on a haunted house story Home Before Dark was such an engaging read from start to finish. The dual timeline, switching between Maggie’s present-day return to Baneberry Hall and her father’s eerie account, kept me constantly questioning what was real. That back-and-forth added so much depth and made it hard to put down. The atmosphere is where this book really shines. It’s not overly scary, but there’s a steady, unsettling tension that builds throughout, giving it that classic haunted house feel without relying on cheap thrills. The only reason this wasn’t a full 5 stars for me was the ending. It leaned a bit more into explanation than I personally prefer, but it still wrapped everything up in a satisfying way. If you enjoy mysterious, layered thrillers with a gothic edge, this is definitely worth picking up. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,707 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #7 in Ghost Thrillers #158 in Psychological Thrillers (Books) #173 in Suspense Thrillers | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 28,438 Reviews | ## Images ![Home Before Dark - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/8160fATSQGL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you’re thinking about it, get this book now! *by A***E on November 26, 2025* I devoured this within one weekend, it’s so good.
