While there, he meets and falls in love with a hacker on the run.  Is their love enough to combat the sinister madness of the house?]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Please ignore the cheesy title and crappy back cover descriptions. This is less a horror novel than a love/adventure story — in fact, I would say that the &quot;horror&quot; elements are the weakest part of the story (thank goodness they're only really heavy in one chapter towards the end).
