Exclusive Excerpt:
Everyone had wondered why John and Amanda Baker had moved into the Goddamned Christy house. Sure, it was pretty. And it was even modern. But it was deadly. No one wanted to say anything when the couple bought it on a steal from Kevin Riley, Stanwyck, Georgia’s resident real-estate guru. After all, the Bakers and their two cute little children Amy and Michael were outsiders in the Stanwyck community. They were from Atlanta for Christ’s sake. And well Atlanta may as well have been a foreign country to these yokels.
After the family moved in, no one really interacted with the Bakers much, and no one really wanted to. It was almost like the townspeople didn’t expect this family to last very long. Whether in the house or above ground. After all, surely this family knew of the Christy home’s dark history. Wouldn’t Kevin or all the internet rumors have alerted them of the house’s evil? John and Amanda both did online work at home, they had to have stumbled upon information regarding their supposed “dream home” at some point. An anonymous forum, an amateur ghost hunter site, anything. Everybody in town thought for sure this would be the case. But apparently, it wasn’t. And the Bakers remained completely unaware. They had no idea what awaited them inside.
It was three months after the Bakers moved in (the community consensus over/under was around four) when the 911 call arrived a little after 11:14 P.M. On the phone, a hysterical Amanda Baker was heard begging and pleading for help. Her sobs were uncontrollable, almost painful to listen to. The operator was a newb and absolutely helpless. Amidst Amanda’s agonizing rambles of “John’s gone crazy,” “there’s blood everywhere,” “hurry before it’s too late,” only one sentence was completely clear: “he took the children.”
