A story awarded the prestigious Edgar Allan Poe Award, from the author of the world bestseller “Gone Girl.” A young woman makes a living by reading the aura of clients in the fortune-telling salon “Magic Hands”.

However, when she first crosses the threshold of the house and meets Miles, she begins to clearly feel that the house seems to be watching her, as if biding its time...
