HTML:<p>Following the success of his latest novel, Travis Glasgow and his wife Jodie buy their first house in the seemingly idyllic western Maryland town of Westlake. At first, everything is picture perfect—from the beautiful lake behind the house to the rebirth of the friendship between Travis and his brother, Adam, who lives nearby. Travis also begins to overcome the darkness of his childhood and the guilt he's harbored since his younger brother's death—a tragic drowning veiled in mystery that has plagued Travis since he was 13. Soon, though, the new house begins to lose its allure. Strange noises wake Travis at night, and his dreams are plagued by ghosts. Barely glimpsed shapes flit through the darkened hallways, but strangest of all is the bizarre set of wooden stairs that rises cryptically out of the lake behind the house. Travis becomes drawn to the structure, but the more he investigates, the more he uncovers the house's violent and tragic past, and the more he learns that some secrets cannot be buried forever.</p>. HTML:<p>August 1, 2011<br /> Malfi (The Ascent) gives a few deft twists to the traditional haunted house theme with eerie, unpredictable, and exciting results. Horror writer Travis Glasgow and his wife, Jodie, have just moved into a house in Westlake, Md., when they discover that Elijah Dentman, the previous tenant's young son, died in a diving accident in the lake behind the house. Travis is still haunted by the similar death of his younger brother when he was a child, and he concludes that details of Elijah's demise have been covered up. Spurred by his sense of a ghostly presence in the house, Travis goes looking for the truth—and finds that it is uncannily different from what he expected. Malfi's lyrical prose and sensitive approach only heighten his tale's emotional impact, and the final turn of events is both surprising and expertly set up.</p>. Publisher's Weekly. Fiction. Horror.
