The only thing more bewitching than a ghost in the White House is putting its story in the hands of Andrew Pyper . . . Chilling, profound reading.” -- Josh Malerman, New York Times"bestselling author of Bird Box and Malorie

The year is 1853. President-elect Franklin Pierce is traveling with his family to Washington, DC, when tragedy strikes. In an instant, their train runs off the rails -- the only casualty is the President-elect's beloved son, Bennie, which casts Franklin's presidency in a pal of sorrow and grief.

As Franklin moves into the White House, he begins to notice that something bizarre is happening. Strange sounds coming from the walls and ceiling, creepy voices that seem to echo out of time itself, and visions of spirits crushed under the weight of American history.

But when First Lady Jane Pierce brings in the most noted Spiritualists of the day, the Fox sisters, for a séance, the barrier between this world and the next is torn asunder. Something horrible comes through and takes up residence alongside Franklin and Jane in the walls of the very mansion itself.

Only by overcoming their grief and confronting their darkest secrets can Jane and Franklin hope to rid themselves -- and America -- from the entity that seeks to make the White House its permanent home.
