"Worth every bit of praise it has received so far, The Siren and the Specter should definitely be on your top 10 list of horror books." -- The Splatter Geist

Goodreads Choice Award finalist for Best Horror

When David Caine, a celebrated skeptic of the supernatural, is invited by an old friend to spend a month in "the most haunted house in Virginia," he believes the case will be like any other. But the Alexander House is different.

Built by a 1700s land baron to contain the madness and depravity of his eldest son, the house is plagued by shadows of the past and the lingering taint of bloodshed. David is haunted, as well. For twenty-two years ago, he turned away the woman he loved, and she took her life in sorrow.

And David suspects she's followed him to the Alexander House.
