If The Turn of the Key's smart-home paranoia and corrosive unreliable narrator kept you up at night, Home Before Dark delivers that same delicious dread—this time through a memoir you can't trust, a legacy estate with too many secrets, and a protagonist whose ambition blinds her to the rot beneath her childhood home's elegant facade.
Sager trades surveillance cameras for inherited trauma, but the psychological descent is just as ruthless. Every family secret peeled back feels like vindication for your cynicism about privilege and picturesque surfaces.
This is the haunted house story for readers who suspect the real horror is always human.
