Synopsis "Home Before Dark "

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.

Riley Sager, seudónimo del escritor estadounidense Todd Ritter, es una de las voces más reconocibles del thriller psicológico contemporáneo. Su obra se caracteriza por tramas de alta tensión, giros calculados con bisturí y protagonistas marcados por traumas que nunca se quedan en el pasado. Alcanzó notoriedad internacional con Final Girls, novela con la que obtuvo el ITW Thriller Award, consolidando su lugar dentro del género y marcando el inicio de una producción constante y muy leída.

Entre sus libros más destacados se encuentra La sobreviviente, donde vuelve a explorar la fragilidad de la memoria, la culpa y la violencia latente bajo superficies aparentemente normales. Sus novelas han sido recurrentes en listas de bestsellers y se distinguen por una narrativa ágil, atmósferas claustrofóbicas y un dominio preciso del suspenso, demostrando que el miedo cotidiano puede ser más perturbador que cualquier monstruo.
