Shadow Valley is an isolated farming community known to few, but in one of its ramshackle farmhouses dwells a power that threatens death and destruction to any who walk within its walls. Now, Lila Ellis arrives to make the final arrangements for a project that will flood Shadow Valley for a reservoir--and the house is not happy. When she enters the old place, she alone must face its terrors--beginning with a pile of seventy boxes of chocolate, one piece missing from each, that have been delivered to the decaying ruin each year on St. Valentine's Day. Can Lily escape the horror that fills the Stevenson place? Or will the curse continue for yet another generation? Another haunting tale of terror by a master storyteller!
