No Doors, No Windows

A Novel

By Schreiber, Joe

Publishers Summary:
When madness is your inheritance, how do you escape it?Scott Mast thought he got away–first from a family haunted by a dark fate, then from a dull career writing greeting cards in Seattle. But now he has come back to his New Hampshire hometown only to find that his family is in ruins, his nephew needs a home, and a shattering truth is clawing its way into the light.Fifteen years ago, Scott’s mother died in a fire. And now the shadowy circumstances–the bodies buried beneath the ashes, the lives ripped apart that fateful day–are starting to be revealed. The answers unspool in the pages of a peculiar old manuscript–an unfinished ghost story written in his father’s own hand that beckons Scott out to a strange house in the woods with a lightless corridor that cannot be seen from the outside. Here Scott Mast will uncover all that has been hidden–and perhaps finish his father’s unspeakable work.

REVIEWS

Library Journal

Reviewed on October 12, 2009

This slim novel features a book-within-a-book, The Black Wing (Schreiber's original working title), a half-finished manuscript discovered by Scott Mast after his father's death. After reading it, Scott learns that the house described within, an architectural oddity built with no right angles, is real and available for rent. Of course, he moves in and sits down to finish his father's work, which turns out to mean more than just writing. Verdict Fans of Lovecraftian horror and Stephen King (particularly The Dark Half or Lisey's Story) will enjoy this exploration of the inheritance of evil. Copyright 2009 Media Source Inc.
