“Aspiring actress Ginette is recovering from a breakdown in a small town. There she becomes obsessed with watching her neighbors from the back window of the house she’s renting. But there is something sinister in the house, something that won’t let her leave. Is she losing her mind or is the house really haunted? This was a great story. The perfect amount of scary and the perfect amount of surprise. It was one of the best ghost story/horror that I’ve listened to. ”
— Karrie • Vroman's Bookstore
A woman moves to a town where she becomes obsessed with watching the lives of her neighbors while stuck in a house that refuses to let her leave in this first ever short story from the New York Times bestselling author of The Book of Cold Cases.
Is there something wrong with Ginette Cox? It’s what everyone seems to think. When a doctor suggests that what she might need is less excitement, she packs up and moves from New York City to a house in suburban NY: 19 Howard Ave.
The town offers Ginette little in the way of entertainment in 1959, but at least she has interesting neighbors. Whether it’s the little girl with her doll or the couple and their mother-in-law, Ginette watches them from her window and makes up names and stories for them.
But it’s not all peaceful in suburbia. Ginette finds it hard to sleep in her new house. There are strange and scary noises coming from the basement, and she is trapped, either by a ghost or her own madness.
But when Ginette starts to think a murder has taken place and a mysterious man starts making terrifying appearances outside her window, it’s clear she must deal with whatever isn’t allowing her to escape this house…
