About
Ruth Ames could hardly believe her good fortune when she and her husband Charles found a house that they could afford. But the turquoise color was not the only strange thing about the new house. For soon after they moved in, Ruth knew that evil had happened there. Was there any truth to the frightening stories her neighbors told -- stories about the torture that was a grisly part of the house's past and and murder that had taken place nearby? At first Ruth tried to ignore their warnings, until one day she felt the icy fingers of fear, and the death that had haunted her home was no longer a chilling tale, but a horror-filled reality...
