They thought the nightmare was over. Years had passed since the survivors of the so-called "House of Blood" escaped from their sadistic tormentors. But now the horror is beginning again. A new house of evil has risen. And those who made it out alive all those years ago may not be so lucky this time. "I look forward to spending a weekend with a new Bryan Smith book the way I used to look forward to spending a weekend with a new Richard Laymon novel. In my view, there isn't higher praise than that."--Brian Keene, author of The Rising
