In rural Alabama, two couples find themselves in a fight for survival. Running from a maniac bent on killing them, they flee deep into the woods. They seek refuge in an old house that's been vacated for years . . . or so they think. They soon discover that others are dwelling in the lower level of the house--and they don't take kindly to visitors. With danger present in the house, they try to leave--but the house won't let them.

Worse, they soon realize the killer has purposely lured them to this house. As they huddle around an old fireplace, a tin can falls from through the chimney. Scrawled on its side is a message from the killer: He claims to have killed God and now demands more dead bodies.

The characters come to realize that the house, while real, mirrors their own heart and soul . . . and unless each can defeat the evil within, the evil in the house will surely claim them. House is a modern tale that will have readers searching their own spiritual pulse long after they reach the last page.
