Some doors should never be opened...
When Frank and Shelley Cassidy move into an isolated house in Lower Graces, Essex, they hope for a fresh start. But the rusting radio tower looming over their land is just the first omen of something deeply wrong. Beneath their feet, in the house's hidden basement, a locked room bears a chilling warning: Do NOT turn on the light.
Frank, an electrical engineer with a troubled past, can't resist the lure of the unknown. One flick of a switch, and he vanishes-trapped in a nightmarish limbo where time is no longer linear, and reality itself bends to the will of a long-dead magician.
A century earlier, Edward Sparkes, the so-called Doctor of Electricity, sought to transcend the limits of time and space. His disastrous final performance condemned him, his troupe, and an innocent woman to a fate worse than death. Now, Frank finds himself entangled in Sparkes' dark experiment, where shadowy figures linger, a grieving caretaker guards terrible secrets, and the echoes of past and present collide.
As Frank's family fights to uncover the truth, his daughter, Frankie, begins to see what no one else can. And with every moment that passes, Sparkes' influence grows stronger-his power stretching beyond the walls of the house, beyond the confines of time itself.
Some experiments should never be repeated. Some doors should never be opened. But when the past calls... can you resist the urge to answer?
A gripping blend of historical fiction, horror, and science fiction, Don't Turn On The Light: Crossing the Line is a chilling tale of obsession, the fragility of reality, and the darkness that lingers when we cross the line between what is possible... and what should remain untouched.
