The terrifying bestseller from the author of House of ReckoningThe children were waiting. Waiting for centuries. Waiting for someone to hear their cries. Now nine-year-old Christine Lyons has come to live in the house on the hill-the house where no children have lived for fifty years. Now little Christie will sleep in the old-fashioned nursery on the third floor. Now Christie's terror will begin.A sound was coming to her. Her mind began to drift . . . Usually it came to her at night, when the wind was blowing. But today it was bright and clear, the wind was still.And yet the sound was there. A baby, crying out for its mother.Instinctively Diana knelt next to Christie and took the child in her arms. "It's all right, " she whispered. "Everything's going to be all right."Perplexed, Christie looked into Diana's eyes. "I am all right, Aunt Diana. Really, I am, " Christie insisted."But you were crying. I heard you. Good girls never cry. Only bad children cry. They cry. And cry. And then they must be punished. . . .
