Our October 2024 "Spooky Season" box is themed to the fourteenth state in the union, famous for its maple syrup, and home of Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream: Vermont!
The featured book is Riley Sager's mystery novel, Home Before Dark. Following the death of her parents, Maggie Holt inherits Baneberry Hall, a sprawling mansion in the Vermont woods. Baneberry Hall was abanonded by Maggie's parents decades earlier due to reported hauntings, which Maggie's father documented in a bestselling book. Maggie intends on selling the house, but encounters locals who are not happy with how Maggie's father portrayed their town. Maggie also starts to notice unexplained occurences at Baneberry Hall that make her wonder, if her parents were telling the truth. Creepy and atmospheric, this is the perfect October book.
