Death is my reward
Some houses breathe.
Andre Cole has always feared the basement in his grandparents' home-ever since the night his parents vanished behind its door. But when a nightmare from his childhood starts bleeding into reality, the basement reveals itself to be more than rotting wood and dust. Inside is a living ledger, a book that records the names of the soon-to-be dead... and now Andre's name is written in it.

Haunted by visions of his lost parents, stalked by shadowed figures, and tormented by the voices of those he's already sacrificed, Andre must decide-will he destroy the book, or let it write the end of everyone he loves?
But the basement keeps its own rules. And the price of survival is never what you thin
