Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:When madness is your inheritance, how do you escape it?
Scott Mast thought he got away — first from a family haunted by a dark fate, then from a dull career writing greeting cards in Seattle. But now he has come back to his New Hampshire hometown only to find that his family is in ruins, his nephew needs a home, and a shattering truth is clawing its way into the light. Fifteen years ago, Scott's mother died in a fire. And now the shadowy circumstances — the bodies buried beneath the ashes, the lives ripped apart that fateful day — are starting to be revealed. The answers unspool in the pages of a peculiar old manuscript — an unfinished ghost story written in his father's own hand that beckons Scott out to a strange house in the woods with a lightless corridor that cannot be seen from the outside. Here Scott Mast will uncover all that has been hidden — and perhaps finish his father's unspeakable work. Review:"Schreiber's third horror novel is more of a languid, atmospheric ghost mystery than his previous page-turners, Eat the Dark and Chasing the Dead. Back in smalltown New Hampshire for his father's funeral, greeting card writer and frustrated novelist Scott Mast discovers the partial manuscript of a horror novel, The Black Wing, hidden in the tool shed. His high school sweetheart, the still-sexy Sonia, suggests he stick around and finish his father's work. Scott agrees, partly so he can keep an eye on his alcoholic brother, Owen, and adorable nephew, Henry, but a local legend with ties to his family history soon has him wondering whether the manuscript is entirely fictional. With several genuinely creepy moments, this crunchy spook story with a gooey serial killer center will please readers who don't mind the slower patches." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.) Review:"Schreiber's crisp, well-paced narrative, which includes tantalizing snippets from the murder-laced manuscript, results in a riveting ghost story equal to the best of King and Straub." Booklist Review:"No Doors, No Windows draws us into a fearsome, doom-haunted world that closes down like a trap. A knockout book!"
