The House on Abigail Lane
ByPublisher Description
From the outside, it looks like an ordinary American home, but since its construction in 1956, people have vanished as soon as they go upstairs, the only clues the things they leave behind: a wedding ring, a phone...an eye.
In its sixty-year history, a record number of strange events have been attributed to the house, from the neighbors waking up to find themselves standing in the yard outside, to the grieving man who vanished before a police officer's eyes. The animals gathering in the yard as if summoned. The people who speak in reverse. The lights and sounds. The music. The grass dying overnight...and the ten-foot clown on the second floor.
And as long as there are mysteries, people will be compelled to solve them.
Here, then, is the most comprehensive account of the Abigail House phenomenon, the result of sixty years of eyewitness accounts, news reports, scientific research, and para-psychological investigations, all in an attempt to decode the enduring mystery that is...
...THE HOUSE ON ABIGAIL LANE.

“🌻 ALL HAIL THE SUNFLOWER GOD 🌻
At one point I was genuinely questioning and googling whether this house was real and if this book was based on a true story…
The way that Kealan Patrick Burke wrote The House on Abigail Lane made it feel like it was real, there was different characters such as authors, families, a detective and the thought that went into all the backstory behind each individual person and the house itself was mesmerising.
Obviously as the book went on, mainly towards the end and after googling, this isn’t a true story but I was fully convinced!
I love the way that Kealan Patrick Burke writes books, this is the second novella I’ve read now and I love the little supernatural sci-fi cosmic twists that are woven into the stories. I’ll definitely be looking into more of Burke’s work!”Kody
Created 4 months agoAbout Kealan Patrick Burke
Hailed by Booklist as "one of the most clever and original talents in contemporary horror," Kealan Patrick Burke was born and raised in Ireland and emigrated to the United States a few weeks before 9/11.
Since then, he has written six novels, among them the popular southern gothic Kin, and over two hundred short stories and novellas, many of which are in various stages of development for film/TV.
A five-time nominee, Burke won the Bram Stoker Award in 2005 for his coming-of-age novella The Turtle Boy, the first book in the acclaimed Timmy Quinn series.
As editor, he helmed the anthologies Night Visions 12, Taverns of the Dead, and Quietly Now, a tribute anthology to one of Burke's influences, the late Charles L. Grant.
More recently, he wrote the screenplay for Sour Candy (based on his novella) for producer Joel B. Michaels.
He also adapted Sour Candy as a graphic novel for John Carpenter's Night Terrors.
His most recent release is Cottonmouth, a prequel to Kin. The Widows of Winding Gale, a maritime horror novel set in Ireland, is due for release in October as a signed limited edition from Earthling Publications.
Kealan is represented by Merrilee Heifetz at Writers House.
He lives in Ohio with a Scooby Doo lookalike rescue named Red.
