The door wasn't there when Evelyn Cross took the photograph.
But the camera saw it.
Twenty years ago, Evelyn's parents and eight-year-old sister vanished inside Mourningglass House. Evelyn escaped with no memory of what happened—and built a career documenting old buildings, trusting measurements and photographs more than the broken pieces of her past.
Then an impossible black door appears in one of her photographs.
Hours later, Detective Mara Voss calls from Evelyn's hometown. Another family has disappeared from Mourningglass House, and a photograph found on the lawn shows Evelyn standing inside it.
The picture was taken four months ago.
Evelyn hasn't been back in twenty years.
Drawn home to Bellwether, she enters a house where rooms move, photographs change, and doors open into memories that may never have belonged to her. Somewhere inside is the truth about the night her family vanished. Somewhere inside, her little sister is still calling her name.
But Mourningglass House doesn't return what it takes.
It replaces it.
And before Evelyn can escape, she must discover whether she survived the house—or whether something wearing her face walked out instead.
The House That Called Her Back is the first book in The Mourningglass House Trilogy, a gripping supernatural horror mystery filled with impossible architecture, buried memories, family secrets, and a house that knows exactly what its victims want.
