Overview

With masterful storytelling, Travis Thrasher draws readers into a novel so gripping it cannot be put down.
James Miller is a burned-out missionary whose time on the mission field in Papua New Guinea left him exhausted and disillusioned. His wife, Stephanie, feels like she's losing her mind. After moving to North Carolina, Stephanie begins seeing strange and frightening things: blood dripping down the walls, one of her children suffocating. Premonitions, she's sure, of what's to come. As the visions and haunting images intensify, Stephanie asks her brother to come for a much-needed visit--but he's hiding secrets of his own that will prove more destructive than Stephanie can imagine.
Nine-year-old Zachary sees his family's move as an adventure, and as he explores the new house, he discovers every young boy's dream: secret passageways and hidden rooms. But what seems exciting at first quickly becomes altogether frightening. When a snowstorm traps the Millers, the supernatural dangers of their new home will test everything they thought they knew about each other, and about their faith.

Synopsis

The Millers, a missionary family on furlough from Papua, New Guinea, have faced horrific spiritual warfare on the field and are still struggling with the consequences. Stephanie feels like she’s seeing strange and scary things. Are these nightmares or premonitions?

Meanwhile, James can’t seem to reconnect to the God he preaches about. Looking for a chance to regroup and reload, they seek refuge in a remote mountain lodge set aside for missionaries just like themselves. Then a storm comes, isolating the Millers from contact with anyone else. Or so they think.

Publishers Weekly

"Thrasher . . . demonstrates a considerable talent for the horror genre. Like Stephen King, Thrasher pits flawed but likable characters against evil forces that at first seem escapable but gradually take on a terrifying ubiquity."
