Behind the Door

When Seth and Yarna stumble upon a once-majestic, centuries-old mansion sold for a fraction of its worth, they seize the opportunity to claim their dream home. But their good fortune unravels the moment the doorbell rings. Standing on the doorstep is the rightful heir—long presumed dead—demanding the return of the estate. What begins as an unnerving encounter spirals into a nightmare as Seth and Yarna discover the truth: every generation of the mansion's twisted bloodline carved new passages, concealed new chambers, and hid unspeakable secrets within its walls. The deeper the couple probes into the labyrinth beneath their floors, the more they awaken the ancient horrors that still linger there—watching, waiting, hungry. Caught between an heir with impossible ties to the past and a house that seems intent on revealing its darkest appetites, Seth and Yarna must uncover the truth behind the door… before it opens for them. Drenched in suspense, gothic atmosphere, and pulse-pounding revelations, Behind the Door by Eileen Sheehan is a haunting tale of legacy, deception, and the immortal terror that thrives in the shadows you're never meant to see. Here is what a 5-star review from Reader's Favorite has to say: "Behind the Door" is a riveting mystery novel that blends supernatural and psychological elements. The secluded mansion makes the turn of events feel even more tense and immersive. Sheehan's captivating writing style keeps the momentum going while gradually increasing the pressure. Seth depends on facts and technology, while Yarna is more sensitive and creative. Yet their different reactions and experiences add intrigue, pulling readers further into the story. The book explores themes of ownership, ominous secrets, and how the past can interfere with the present. It reminds me of haunted-house stories where the building itself has a life of its own.
