Under The Skin (A Story of Stephen King's Rose Red)

This is the world we live in, and experience with our five senses. Skin, smooth and rational. Every cause has its effect and every effect can be predicted with the right database at hand. But there's a world, under that world. Blood, under the skin. It's a world that's liquid, instead of solid. Hot, instead of just warm. It is a world full of mysteries. - Dr. Joyce Reardon

Elsbeth Hardaway and her husband Nick are no strangers to the paranormal. Gifted with telepathy, empathy, and a hint of clairvoyance, the world holds few surprises, even the supernatural one. Between their psychic adventures and their day jobs at their psychology practice, the couple is used to having all the answers. When they agree to a scientific expedition to Rose Red, they assume it will be just another job.

The House had other plans. With their group seeming to be picked off one by one and the doors and windows trapping them in, there is one question they don't have the answer to. Will they make it out alive?
