The Making Of The House On Foster Hill
When I was little, my dad took me through his childhood home. It was an abandoned, two-story farmhouse, with gaping windows, lonely staircase, and upper floors too rotted to be trusted. Wallpaper rolled in shriveled, tired sheets, and even the kitchen with its old-fashioned pump handle, looked wearied. Time had born a wicked toll on my dad’s home, but in his memory, moments of life lived with vivid impact.
It is one of the first times I ever recall wondering what it would be like if walls could speak.
There’s something about old, abandoned homes that tickles the intrigue of even the most non-imaginative person. History laces its framework, but more than that, it’s the human story. We all share in that nostalgia, because we all have families, wounds, joys, and sometimes horror. The walls of a home become our silent witness and when those times have passed, the walls of the home still hold true to their silent vigil.
When the idea was present to me to write a split-story (dual time) story, it made sense to center my first one around an old abandoned house. The eerie sensation, the ghostly elements, the stories that have never been told...what would happen if someone today were able to resurrect the tales of yesterday? And what if we, as readers, could travel back to the moment that memory was first collected in the walls of the old house?
The excitement riddled through me, straight down to my fingertips. Foster Hill House was created, and the house became a character in and of itself. Along with its terrible, dark secrets ...
