"Worth every bit of praise it has received so far, The Siren and the Specter should definitely be on your top 10 list of horror books." — The Splatter Geist
Goodreads Choice Award finalist for Best Horror
When David Caine, a celebrated skeptic of the supernatural, is invited by an old friend to spend a month in "the most haunted house in Virginia," he believes the case will be like any other. But the Alexander House is different.
Built by a 1700s land baron to contain the madness and depravity of his eldest son, the house is plagued by shadows of the past and the lingering taint of bloodshed. David is haunted, as well. For twenty-two years ago, he turned away the woman he loved, and she took her life in sorrow.
And David suspects she's followed him to the Alexander House.

      David Caine, author, professor, and famous paranormal skeptic, is invited to spend a month in the most haunted house in America. Built in the 1700s, the Alexander House has a gruesome history, and David has been asked to pass his expert judgment on the years of ghostly sightings and ghastly occurrences. But this job brings him dangerously close to the source of his own personal haunting, the death of his college sweetheart. From the unsettling opening lines, it is clear that this is no ordinary haunted house tale. Janz (Children of the Dark, 2016) twists such conventions as lost love and the cursed town in original and terrifying ways. The tension builds throughout, and the fear and repulsion are relayed through all five senses, threatening to never let go. Janz is emerging as one of the most talented horror authors of his generation, and his newest novel will be eagerly scooped up by fans of haunted house stories like The Handyman (2017) by Bentley Little, The Damned (2015) by Andrew Pyper, and Hex? (2016) by Thomas Olde Heuvelt.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2018, American Library Association.)
