She convinces her husband to move to the sprawling wilderness of rural Vermont to make a home and raise their baby.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEstranged from her extended family since childhood, Wildwood is a mystery to Elinor--she's an outsider to the townsfolk and to the prominent Brook family who control the town and its history. Knowing little of the house or its past, save for snapshots of childhood memories, she becomes entranced by an eerie nineteenth-century mural in the primary bedroom she calls \"the Forest of the Dead.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut instead of growing more settled in her new home, Elinor feels increasingly isolated and uneasy. She begins to have dreams that feel like memories, phantasmagorical visions of something terrible that happened long ago. Haunted by the mystery of why her family fell apart, she's determined to uncover the secrets of her ancestry buried deep in the past and even deeper in the woods . . . secrets kept by powerful forces within the house and within the town.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eObsessed with finding the truth, Elinor knows she must answer when \"the Forest of the Dead\" calls her. Someone wants her to know they were there first, and someone else is trying to get in. As the nightmares creep into her waking hours, Elinor embarks on a journey that takes her back and forth in time, to the dark recesses of memories, to the streets of modern Salem, and to the haunted corners of this otherworldy house.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Forest of the Dead is calling.
