The
House Next Door
by Richie Cusick
Following through on the dare to spend overnight in the empty house (in order
to force her twin brother to take her friend Val to the winter dance) seemed
like a harmless outing to Emma. Even becoming romantically involved with the
dashing ghost in that house seemed okay too at first; but Charlie and Val must
struggle to break up this affair before tragedy repeats.
There are advantages to having a twin who knows your mind, even if it is your
brother...and this may be what can help Emma the most. Read this supernatural
thriller...and don’t trespass in empty houses in your neighborhood ever
again.
