By: Kat Ellis Clown in a Cornfield meets The Cabin in this terrifying story from acclaimed author Kat Ellis, about a group of rivals stranded in an abandoned house that seems to kn ow everything they want—and will provide it to them…at a cost. When rivals Haden Romero and Deacon Rex and their bands—including Haden’s ex Cairo—are stranded on their way to a rock festival, they think missing the gig is the worst thing that’s going to happen to them this weekend. It’s not. Marooned with a broken-down bus in treacherous swampland, they spot an old house where they can hole up until help comes. But the house has been waiting for them. And it knows help isn’t coming. As secrets are revealed and bodies pile up, Haden starts to lose her grip on reality. Can the house make good on its promise to make all her dreams come true? And can Haden afford the deadly cost? True horror in the most fun sense of the word, The Devouring Light is a twisty, blood-curdling delight a la Stephen King or Five Total Strangers that will have readers on the edge of their seats, bracing themselves for jump scares, flinching with every plot twist, and—most importantly—reading with the lights on.
