Cathy was only six when the man who lived there killed his wife and himself. Cathy heard the screams. She saw the blood and the bodies. Now, almost twenty years later, the house is no longer vacant. Someone new has moved in. And something dreadful is starting to happen in the neighborhood.

The first victim is found skinned alive in his home. The second, in the middle of the street, her spine snapped. And the body count is rising. A killer is on the loose. And the screams are starting again in the house across the street. Whatever's going on inside is a secret no one is supposed to know. But then again, Cathy has secrets of her own...

HUMAN NATURE CAN BE AN UNSPEAKABLE THING.
