Why read it?

The trope: The monster in the house.
Sager does an amazing job building the atmosphere in this one. The protagonist gets a job in an apartment in one of the oldest buildings in New York City. Between the gargoyle stationed outside the window, the eclectic neighbors, and the weird nighttime noises, I was riveted.
Since I grew up in New York City, this story was very nostalgic for me, but anyone who loves things that go bump in the night will be spellbound.
From Greta's list on thrillers featuring tropes you know and love.
