Thanks to Netgalley and DarkFuse for giving me a chance to read this story..

It was short and for me personally it's a very good bed-time story!

So basically, it was a story about a man who seemed to have a happy small family. He had a wonderful and lovely wife and a newborn baby girl. But then something bad happened and he lost the most important things in his life, his lovely wife and baby girl. Then he started to lose himself and decided to leave. Somehow it ended on him buying a creepy old house in some place out of nowhere. And the house was a puzzle, even for me who read this story. I can't quite decide whether the house is haunted or just a puzzle that play a mind-trick to anyone that come to the house.

There was a mystery and dark-twist to it. It was not a story of some sort of hero. It was just a story of a man who unfortunate enough lose to the villain house. Somehow the ending felt unfinished as many of dark/horror stories ended. Not all of stories have it's happy endings. This is one of them, but I am just open-minded enough to understand where the writer wants this story goes and I think I can see why.

Good one, a very nice bed-time story.. ;)
