In true Sager fashion, Home Before Dark is an entertaining and engaging horror thriller full of twists and turns. Even when you think you have it figured out, the truth is revealed in a different, more satisfying direction.

Maggie Holt is well known in true crime circles and beyond due to her father's best selling memoir about their brief time living in a haunted house during her childhood. Unable to remember much from that time, Maggie has never believed the fantastical events centering on ghosts her father wrote are true. Following his death, however, she inherits Baneberry Hall. Despite her father's last words being a warning not to return, Maggie vows to do just that to find out the truth about why they abruptly left. 

The only problem is the more time she spends at Baneberry Hall, the more strange things begin happening that are identical to events detailed in her father's memoir. More and more it seems everything might be true. Wanting to know more about Baneberry Hall's history and the people who lived there who might not have left, Maggie begins digging for the truth. Secrets and lies are uncovered bit by bit until she's faced with the fact her life is about to be changed forever by the truth.
