It started as an act of mercy. When a violent storm lashes the Maine coast, Mark Calloway opens his door to Mrs. Gable, a frail, elderly woman seemingly stranded in the rain. But as the wind howls outside, the atmosphere inside his isolated home begins to rot.
There is no car on the road. She leaves behind no wet footprints as she enters the house. Every time Mark looks away, the shadows stretch longer, and he begins to hear strange noises. The woman in his kitchen begins to feel less like a victim and more like a predator. The true nightmare soon begins. It only gets worse once his girlfriend, Brooke, arrives to check on him.
Mrs. Gable isn't just a lost soul; she is a monstrous entity with a horrific connection to Mark's family history. Before the night is over, blood will stain the floorboards, and the line between reality and the supernatural will shatter. Now, standing on the edge of a jagged cliff with a blade in his hand and the police closing in, Mark faces a terrifying truth: he has survived a monster, but to the world, he is the only monster left.
In this bone-chilling psychological thriller, James L Scott explores the deadly consequences of an open door.
