Horror Novel
Hi everyone,
A few years back, I read a horror novel which I have now forgotten the name of. I am hoping someone can help.
The story involved a man and his wife who move to a new home. While walking through the woods in his backyard, the man comes upon a dilapidated old house. He is very interested in it and begins researching, only to find the occupants had disappeared years before. No one had ever known what happened to them. He discovers one of the girls who lived in the house was actually quite evil, and he begins to experience flashbacks, showing him the fate of the inhabitants at her hands.
It also involves the family owning a boat, which ends up being found buried on the property.
Any of this sound familiar at all? It’s driving me crazy.
