The Portal  (English, Paperback, Conrad Craig)

PAUL RICE travels with his new girlfriend to meet her family and spend a week in their recently renovated home in Lanark, Wisconsin, where he finds a town haunted by a history of strange killings and disappearances, a Catholic priest frightened to come out at night, and a teenager who is afraid of his room and sleeps with the light on. By week’s end Paul comes face to face with a resident evil that is centuries old, very much alive, and only waits to be released from a house that has been its dark shrine for generations. “This is a well written – and genuinely creepy – story.” - Harper Collins Publishers
