Cellar Door

Twin sisters, Mare Amy Silkes and Maeve Aggie Gordon have not seen one another since 1972. They were four years old when their father took Mare Amy away from the Descendants of David religious compound in Florida to live in Trinidad, Colorado. The girls’ mother, Day Jean LeBarre, stayed behind in the compound with Maeve Aggie and two-year-old Telley Mark. A series of lies and mistaken police reports, followed by a devastating fire at the compound, convince each of the surviving family members that the others are dead. The story traces the sisters through events that range from sentimentally delicious to terrifyingly dangerous.

On the outskirts of Willow, in the shadow of a frostbitten hillside, a pair of oak doors stand against the February cold. Doors that hide an ancient secret. A secret as old and decayed as the Earth itself. And through the hollows, the lingering echo of children's laughter rises and falls in cryptic rhythm. In the wake of a grisly string of deaths, a handful of souls become entangled in a paranormal tale of lost hope, serial murder, and revenge. In their search for absolution, they find the line between the natural world, and the spiritually sinister, is easily blurred and often crossed.
