There is more going on at Hanging Hill Lane than simple mass killings.
Daphne Locke, eighteen and alone, is back in her old childhood house as a sequence of brutal killings moves closer. Powerless policemen break down and cry, tortured by the most horrific crimes they have ever seen.
Murders are not the only darkness on the street. Creepy neighbours act impossibly. Dogged Jehovah’s Witnesses prophesy and stalk. Daphne wonders if she’s going mad, or if there truly is something real and insidious at play.
Perhaps the fresh grief of her mother’s death is testing her sanity. Perhaps her childhood night terrors were real. Perhaps rumours of the supernatural at Hanging Hill Lane were true all along. What a terrible time for a killer to come knocking.
